    We can't get bread flour at Lidl any more. Aldi don't have it either. Their regular flour seeems like a good deal until you see that it is in 1kg bags!

    hi,

    have just checked online and it is 75p! :eek:

    Have just wrote a strong email to asda asking how they can justify a 50% increase in price on a basic food item - tho sure they will take little or no notice!

    Perhaps we should all complain to them?? Strength in numbers and all that, cos I am sure Tesco will follow suit and bang their price up to match it next.

    regards

    I use wholemeal flour too in my breadmaker and its gone up from 68p to 99p over the last few months. I have been expecting the strong white to go up for awhile now, think I'll go to town tomorrow and buy as much as I can carry as Sainsburys usually do their price increases on a tues night/wed morning.
    Bread making must be very popular now as hubby actually got last bag of white yesterday when he did the weekly shop.

    Have you tried using either half and half with plain or all plain in breadmaking? Can work out much cheaper.

    Is the Doves Farm wholemeal not still on offer? I bought loads when it was on offer in Tesco and Sainsburys, still working my way through it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    This is the price instore, rather than the price showing online?

    :( I suspected I was being hopefull that they had made a mistake with the online price.
