Just heard on the news that Asda have several things eg bread at 50p just for the weekend. Tesco reducing 3000 prices on Monday apparently!

There is also an article in the Mail.

I've copied the example prices from the article below.







Good thing because the other day on our shopping trip, we noticed loads of items had gone up in price.

The trick of course is to go in Asda and ONLY buy the 50p products!!

Unless this is just me, the telegraph article by the OP was from 2003.

Tesco are really hacking me off at the moment. Prawns were £1.09 a few weeks ago - last week I noticed they had gone up to £1.48 which I thought was a bit of a hike - this week they are £1.85!

I know what you mean about Tesco I went in the other night and some of the staple things had gone up about 20%.I bought some Homepride flour it was £1.09,it's now £1.29.Some of the tinned veg I noticed had gone up by about 40%It's ridiculous.
