It’s not that I’m surprised week after week in a certain large supermarket (that rhymes with the phrase for eating outdoors!) but sometimes their sneakiness drops to new lows! Their Springforce 9 pack toilet rolls that had been €2.69 for a very long time and which was relatively good value (probably why they keep the price ticket at floor level hoping not too many will see it!) last week changed to €2.85. The increase is not what bothered me, it was the fact that the new ticket read "Save€3.62" and then in tiny writing at the bottom "against leading brand"!! Which means you are not "saving" anything!
That’s like a ford car dealer with a sign over a fiesta saying something like "€19,000, save €28,000, against a mercedes"!!!
September 21, 2012 at 4:08 pm #124553JedtKeymasterTesco put their Weetabix up from 2.95 to 3.15 for a 24 pack.
They put Nutella up from 2.85 to 3.29
…and they put their own brand kitchen cloths up from 1.25 to 2.09!!!Sneaky, cheeky and sly. I watch all the prices in there and try to buy clever – I will go to SuperValu, Dunnes, Superquinn, Tesco, Lidl and pick up what I need in each. I have no loyalty to any supermarket and am always looking for the best deal!
Please add your good buys here….
Today I got a bottle of Mcguigans Pinot Grigio for 7 euro in the Tesco wine sale, its a lovely wine for anyone who likes light, crisp whites.
I also got some nice meat in Supervalu, good offers on chickens & hams in there and their own brand stuffing is lovely.

Shop in Aldi all the time, find their stuff good quality and prices are reasonable.
September 24, 2012 at 2:58 pm #124611YvonneMemberI mainly shop in Aldi, but always get a few bits in Tesco too.. I too notice how their prices seem to ‘jump’ no slight increases at all only big ones..
Last week I went to Dunnes in Scotch Hall for the first time in I don’t know how long, they had alot of offers on so got a good value shop there.
September 26, 2012 at 11:57 am #124681mammycoolParticipantHa, they are all the same – put stuff up and down every week. You need to know your prices. I do my shopping online with Supervalu every week now.
I buy a their own brand sausages, rashers, eggs – tastes just as good as the leading brands.
I get good quality and usually come in around 100euro for shopping and delivery at a time that suits me.
Could not fault them.
