    We're noticing that a while after the newly branded stuff replaces Value, it goes up in price by up to 20%.

    Will the ONS pick that up in their inflation monitoring, or ignore it because the label has changed?

        Asda price guarantee to end

        Asda to scrap price guarantee scheme next month

        What they say is a load of nonsense, as about 50% of receipts found blowing around in their car parks will produce a payback (+ 10%) as stuff is cheaper elsewhere.

        Be prepared for price increases and even more customers going to Aldi/Lidl.

        Price increases have already started because in Tesco yesterday they were selling granary loaves for £1.30 each.Not so long ago they were £1.19 each and when they went up to that price we got ourselves a bread maker and have never looked back:snorky:

        £1.19 for a loaf of bread :yikes:

        :yikes::yikes:

        Those loaves would be around 12p or 13p each when reduced at the end of day to 90% off, each spilt into about 3 or 4 and frozen. Sometimes they go down to 99% off and are sold for pennies when they have lots of bakery products left unsold and put 2 or 3 tall, shelved trollies out laden with stuff.

        If we run out of cheap (reduced expensive) bread then the breadmaker goes on. Have been buying flour from Waitrose on offer at buy 2 get 1 free together with carton grape juice (for making white wine @ 35p/bottle) using £4 off £20 shop vouchers they sent a sheet of, calling in when we visit a nearby ar boot sale.
