To ask the most insanely priced supermarket item you’ve seen lately? Bet you can’t beat this

[Greenlabelss]

Co-op, bin bags £5.90

i know co op is notoriously a piss take but seriously?

another was Tesco, cooking oil, £9

Are you a train driver?

The Co op provides convenience stores for communities and does so in circumstances where other retailers wouldn't as the stores are not profitable. For every high priced item there's a ridiculously cheap offer.

I saw a tub of lurpak once that was £7.50

Me too! Without it I’m splashing so much EVO about it’s going all over the walls.

Teapigs are terrible teas, completely ridiculous, weak tea and if you squeeze the bag to try in desperation to get something, anything, out of them...they split.

Tesco.

It's probably because they'll put it on Nectar "offer" next week, and then it's back to £7.50!

Tesco salted butter is £1.69 online.
Did you go into a Tesco Metro? I think they charge higher prices 8n small stores.

I earn slightly more, but the cliff-edge means that everything over £100k goes into my pension - neither me nor the economy will benefit from the extra for years.
The £60k in tax and NI I pay is the price of living in a civilised society - but I'd prefer it was spent more carefully.

Ambrosia rice pudding £1.60.
Before Covid it was £1 and often on offer 2 for £1.50.

Head down to Lidl or Aldi. Lidl green tea is £0.59 for 40 bags. I th8nk lemon and ginger is approx £1.25 for 40 bags.

50gr of Ibérico ham at Waitrose for £12.95.

@Getonwitit

well I'd better 'get on with it' & find it online/some kind of streaming then hadn't I.!! Sort out my lack of!!😁

Home Bargains - I was stunned when a woman picked up a bottle of shampoo and matching conditioner by Tigi which were £7.50 each. £15 literally down the drain. Think some people have forgotten the value of money. I can remember when I could drive 60 miles on a fiver of petrol 😂

@BashfulClam

😂😂😂😂😂

thanks, that made me laugh & that takes a bit of doing right now. I'll definitely listen to it in the morning 🤣🤣

@Blahblahgoat

you need a friend who is going to Costco. You need to felt the blue packet of 'halves' there, wayyyy cheaper.

Me too 😂😂😂

I'd forgotten all about this and now I'm laughing and thinking about, "Sammy Snake".

well, this is my weekend sorted !!

thanks everyone who has contributed!!

@Extrathpecial I've just realised 'I was around' but not living in England at the time 🙄🙄 so that would explain it I guess. The links have confirmed that I'll be looking for it this weekend.

thanks for your original post and polite response to my 'numpty' one!!

Bloody hell @Greenlabelss was the cooking oil made from freshly squeezed Minks?

Yes, but you do get a half price bar of chocolate with that so...

Probably knits her own from chickpeas.
