Tescos milk £1.36 for 4 pints East Anglia bad!!

quickstepqueen

I have milk delivered from a very local dairy and 4 pts costs me £1.80! I think that despite another recent increase by 2p per pint that is great value for money. I also work in a butchers and was told last week by our supplier of chickens that they were going up because of the cost of feed and the price that wheat is now fetching. Whether it's true or not the explanation seems to be down to the recent floods.

yes I usually have my milk delivered and it's now not that much more than Tescos/Asda so i shall up my doorstep delivery and not have to go to Tescos. i don't mind the increase if it goes to the framers but somehow I don't think it will do you?... Thanks for the tip about Iceland

eggs at tescos have gone up too. tesco value 15 eggs was £1 now £1.15
but in Morrison's the milk is still 36p a pint or 2pts 66p tesco 1pt 40p 2pts 76p now.
but if you go to the egg man at Burton on Trent market. 30 large free range organic ungraded eggs on a tray £1.70.
when i say large i mean 3 time the size of the tesco value eggs

wait another few months, there's a shortage of wheat, potatoes, carrots and many other crops due to the floods

bread is likely to hit £1.20 to £1.35 a loaf (the real brand stuff, not that cardboard value lossleader) and there's likely to be a doubling in price of most root vegetables

I have heard news stories about food prices rising 30% by end of year.

have we already had the affects of the last supermarket price war reversed. . ..

In Tesco last week Hovis Invisible Crust bread was something like 80p or 90p - this week it is £1.15 (only buy it because it's the only bread my 2 year old will attempt to eat :rolleyes: )

But wheat is imported and so are lots of other fruit and veg, hence the "food miles" issues; although above is true it will be used as an excuse by the supermarkets as usual to raised prices far in excess of need. The farmers and consumers suffer but the supermarkets will not.
