Most daftly overpriced thing you've seen lately?

[MeinKraft]

I've really fancied trying these Bueno eggs, finally saw them in Tesco and nearly collapsed in shock at the price. £2.75!! For a few tiny little eggs. I think not. The delights of the Bueno egg will remain a mystery to me.

What have you seen lately that's ridiculously overpriced? I know everything but maybe like the little treats you might have bought that are now so out of budget that you won't buy them even if you can afford too.

@MorvenOfMalvern Ooh you could give them still frozen sweetcorn in the hot weather 🥵🐓

I cannot believe the price of weetabix and cereals now

Agree! I paid £2.70 for Alpen. I’ve moved over to Sainsbury’s own brand and it’s not that nice but it’s only cereal.

Frozen sweetcorn is definitely the way to go. I used to buy cans, use half, put the rest in the fridge and then bin it 2 weeks later when it had grown a layer of fur!!!

Now I just heat what I need and no waste (unless you count! the kids pushing it around their plate and trying their best not to eat it!)

I’m amazed that 8 stamps cost me £7+ ..

If anyone has a Costco card, Heinz soup (24 can pack ) is about £18.00 at the mo, so it works out at around 70p per can ( well it did when I last went about 2 weeks ago) and their other products are fairly stable too! Yes you really have to really like tomato soup and storage 😆 or share it but it’s definitely better than £1.50 plus I’m supermarkets!

My local Costco is Derby so if anyone does want to go to Costco who doesn’t have a card, PM me and I’m more than happy to meet anyone there in the car park and get you in as my guest!

I’m honestly shocked at the prices in supermarkets now so I will help anyone with Costco where I can

Oh and i believe their 1kg Lurpack is at the £6-7 mark which is great knowing a 750g is about that price in regular supermarkets

I’m amazed that 8 stamps cost me £7+ ..

If they're first class, they'll be £8.80 from next month.

Oooh @Harmonypus that sounds like a useful app! Might I ask what it is called please?

@AllTheChaos

I use Zipzero, they pay you 0.5% of the value of each receipt you scan, but you have to match your earnings with earnings from their online partnered companies.

Even if you never manage to withdraw anything, it's still a useful way to keep copies of your receipts.

I've also found that most stores accept these scanned versions of receipts if I've ever had to return anything for refund or replacement.

Thanks, @Harmonypus, I definitely need something to help me keep track of receipts and this sounds perfect.

£6.25 for a tube of Colgate Total toothpaste. Ridiculous

£6 for M and S Easter egg. Dh claims that Easter eggs have always been this much .. ?

And M&S Easter Eggs are a bit rubbish these days, IMO, they used to be epic. Not even any bubbly bunnies this year.

Has anyone found Lidl and Aldi have gone really damn expensive?
I went in Lidl the other day for some bits and even the wafer thin ham was £4!

Fish fingers in lidl gone up by another 6p since last week!

Jar of pasta sauce in small Tesco - £3.60!

Valspar 5L paint £66 in B&Q yesterday

Was it gold leaf paint?
