Heinz soups in Tesco have gone.from 95p per tin to £1.40 per tin

Wow, I'm glad I make my own!

Needless to say, I don't shop in Nisa - not at those prices - I was at the PO that is situated at the back of the store and noticed the tea bags on my way out.

It's only going to get worse.
What winds me up in recent weeks/months is Tesco online that bang on about "Aldi price match" - from what I've seen its not cheaper than it was before.

Just returned from the last shop for June as I'm away on holiday at the end of this month.i haven't been near a shop for around 11 days as I have been eating down my stocks indoors, and only needed a small top up really.

Boy is seems as though every single thing in Tesco's has risen in price. I'm glad I didn't need a great deal to be honest.

Since when has ordinary jelly been 70p (14/-) for goodness sake its not gold lined.

I noticed as well, how virtually all the basic stuff has gone from the shelves ,now whether its because its been sold, or they are not restocking I don't know.
 
I was speaking to another lady in there and she said the same as me, that people really are pulling in their belts and just restricting themselves to lower brand (if available ) or just not buying stuff as much.

This is in a very large Tesco superstore, so how small High street business's manage goodness knows.I do like to shop locally if I can, but where I live there are so few food shops around now its a case of having to go to the big ones

Our little local Iceland shut in March and the shop has been lying empty ever since and its in a small shopping precinct. Our local Wilko's, the shelves rarely seem to be restocked much, and often there are only two or three folk actually working in there.
 
The High Street seem to be mainly betting shops, hairdressers, barbers or charity shops

The bakers has gone, one of the chemist shops has gone, the shoe shop and the greengrocers all standing empty. Very sad as unless you have a car, the transport system is almost none existant as well.I  am lucky that I still drive so can drive to the big shops ,but many of my friends don't anymore.

I heard on TV that the government were going to enforce landlords into renting their premises ,but you have to have people willing to put their savings into business and at the moment no one wants to, as its so precarious, if there is zero demand for rental shops you cannot make folk want to rent them.

In Kent we have a massive housing shortage  so its possible the High Street will just turn into flats and houses and few shops.The big supermarkets will benifit but the small folk will lose out I think. its supposed to be progrees but I can't see it myself

I'm a home shopper for a major supermarket and my colleagues and myself have all commented on the amount of basic items we are picking compared to branded. It as defiantly increased recently and still on the rise. Some customers only want the basic range. That's very unusual.

We online shop since Covid with Tesco but have been going out for odds and ends at our locals Morrisons/Asda/Icleands.

We too have noted and posted about this that especially during the past few weeks it's up and up and up again. Even products like cheese, lettuce and now potatoes and onions all up that should not really go up and milk is up almost every week

I've posted this earlier re online Tesco and they BANG on about "Same price as Aldi" or something like that the fact is their price from previous weeks is no cheaper and I suspect may be up in some cases.

Clubcard prices in fairness are decent but Tesco can be beaten by Asda for the whole shop hands down as one of our children onlines them. We've just paid for another 6 months delivery slot so will stay with Tesco.

Cottage cheese in Sainsburys was 74p last week, its £1,60 this week

Before the first lockdown, we were paying 55p for a small tin of Heinz Spagbol or an offer of 4 for £2.

Lockdown caused us problems - our son is autistic, in early 2020 this was his staple food (large tins unacceptable) and Heinz stopped manufacture for a while. We were sourcing the tins from various supermarkets and corner shops around this side of the city. Eventually through shortage and necessity, he started eating other food again - phew! [advice not required, tyvm]

He does still like the small tins of Heinz Spagbol though, as an occasional post-school snack. They are currently selling in a large supermarket chain for £1.20 each. That's an increase of 118% in just over two years. Shocking.

Could you maybe keep a couple of small tins in the cupboard just for show and swap it out for half a big tin behind the scenes? 

Or half a big tin of own brand, better still!
