Aspirin, Paracetamol & Caffeine Tablets

Has anyone else noticed that Aspirin, Paracetamol & Caffeine tablets are becoming increasingly hard to buy nowadays - without paying over £2 per pack for genuine Anadin branded ones ?
I have tried Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys - they all used to offer own brand at around 45p - now the only option is genuine Anadin at £2 PLUS !!

    The own brand version have been going up in price recently.

    Sainsburys now at 80p where 55p, they disappeared for a short period now back in stock.

    Asda has them at 55p plenty there when I looked last week.

    Co.op at 65p again plenty on the shelves last time I looked the other week.

    I get the Superdrug Paracetamol for 45p, they do Asprin for 35p, but quite often the shelf is empty in my store, so I tend to get them when I see them on shelf. Aldi do cheap Paracetamol too

    I've also noticed these tablets have started to disappear. I think Waitrose still do them for about 55p, or it was last time I looked.

    You could take the paracetamol and aspirin separately with some coffee for the caffeine.

    I was on separate aspirin ( I need gastroenteric versions), paracetamol and others, but the latter failed to work years ago, so now it's tramadol and lots more others.
