Tesco's new "5 for 4" clubcard offers are really just huge price rises

Just received email from Tesco for Clubcard bargains 

2 Packs hot cross buns £2.50

Incidentally I bought 1 pack on Monday for £1.15

Presumably you bought the standard ones for £1.15, which are still £1.15

The 2 for £2.50 is the Finest and Plant Chef (vegan) ranges

My take on this thread is that I'm saving a fortune thanks to a gluten free husband !

Of all the supermarkets, it seems like Tesco has the most junk food offers, because that's how they make big profits. When supermarkets talk about best value, they mean for them. Cheap ingredients flogged for a big processed food profit. If they only sold meat, fish, poultry, fruit veg and eggs they would go bankrupt.

I can sort of relate to that.  I started a low carb diet last year and have lost over 5 stone  :)I am very fond of pizza and things like hot cross buns.  One of my biggest weaknesses is Marmite crisps.  I saved a fortune by not buying any of these or bread.  I used to buy decent bread from the artisan bakers in our small market town.  Absolutely divine but very expensive.  

I can’t believe how much junk food and ready meals are sold in the supermarkets these days.
