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

Fruit and prices in France vary by season, cauliflowers between one Euro and 7.50!

While here in public services we had a pay freeze for neigh on 10yrs and our pay increase the last 2yrs has been a lump sum offer of around £1400.

Go you 🙄

Dried porcini £3 for 10g makes them £300 per kg

Standard sadly.

I actually earn less than I did 10 years ago due to loss of out of hours payments.

Aldi fruit and veg is very variable store to store in my experience, presumably due to storage conditions.
I'm lucky my local and favourite Aldi has fabulous fruit and veg, last longer than Asda and cheaper and better than Morrisons.
If the Aldi you usually use doesn't provide great fruit and veg, try a different Aldi before you give up.

Because not all of us get pay rises like yours.

Same price In Spain!

Cadbury’s hot chocolate £4.50 in Tesco, I can remember when it was £2 something.

That would involve driving longer and spending more on petrol.. I have switched to Sainsbury’s and Aldi match and honestly don’t spend any more. It’s better for the environment too which Aldi scores low in., They sell Ecover, recycled toilet paper, better packaging and better quality meat and eggs which are low welfare at Aldi.

🤣

Has it? Bugger, that’s a frequent buy for the dogs, standard for settling stomachs if they’ve overdone the grass.

Just seen Blitz ln the Original Factory shop 3 rolls for £4.

Work for the NHS, (admin/reception) £11.44/hr☹️ all these price increases are definitely having an impact on me.

I always shop at Home Bargains first. Kitchen roll and loo roll much cheaper.

Haha! I've seen some stealth boasts on here in my time but that deserves some kind of award! 😁

Plant based eco Sellotape £4 in M&S.
Almost bought it but then changed my mind.
Got the exact same thing in Home Bargains for 99p.

I buy their herbal teabags directly from them. Much more reasonably priced than the supermarkets and free delivery is easily reached. For proper tea I buy Yorkshire from B&M.

£5.50 for local honey is very good value for money though. For that price, you usually get a product with the origin described as "European and non-European countries".

I saw a Charlie Brigham lasagne ready meal for £9.50 today in Sainsburys. I couldn’t believe it! I only looked like it would feed one person too! I was gobsmacked.

i dont bother with binbags. i take black bin rubbish straight out to the bins. cant stand having rubbish in the house

It hasn’t gone ‘hand in hand’ though. There wouldn’t be a COL crisis if it had.

And I don’t think your cleaner is very representative. Sounds like they’ve put their rate up because they know the likes of you can afford it!

He’s only paying his cleaner more, due to that’s the minimum rate for a hourly clean And yes agree, it isn’t a true representation, due to it not being comparative, to his salary.

Sainsbury's. Small tub of Cadbury's instant hot chocolate powder. £4 !
(£2.25 in B+M)

I think I'd better guard my small olive tree with my life and put it in the greenhouse for the winter, it has a few olives on at the moment. At this rate I'll be able to sell them for a quid each!
