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

Not a supermarket but B&Q last weekend. A bottle of dishwasher rinse aid, £9.

I shop online so don't really notice prices but every time I go to a shop in person I am surprised at prices.

Instant noodles, the sort that students eat.

I used to be able to buy for less than 50p per pack. Now you'd be paying close to £1.

@PeggyMitchellsCameo you beat me to it with Lurpak. Crazy price.

Cadbury's chocolate when from about £1.75 to £2.50 for a 200g bar, overnight.

I watched a Sali Hughes reel today where she did an American drugstore guide, all v interesting but I noticed that the Walmart generic version of Cerave body lotion was seventeen dollars. SEVENTEEN! For a cheap version of an already 'cheap' product?!

I'm going to America soon so I'll see how bad it is. Cost of living bites.

I don't know. So much stuff is overpriced. I bought my husband a can of cream of tomato soup the other day,and it was £1.79!
That shocked me.
We don't buy olive oil right now. I know why it's expensive as well so know it's justified but we really can't afford it.

@Extrathpecial

ok obviously I'm missing the the joke, never mind

Baked beans are another. 2 pounds for a tin?!?!

My wages haven’t gone up
in line with inflation.

It’s the black bin bag song from phoenix nights.

One roll of Plenty kitchen roll was £4.90 at the village where I work. We use it at the shop I work at (for wiping down tattoos so can’t have cheap shit kitchen roll). We ended up switching to Asda’s brand as it was strong and a lot less extortionate! We were using three full rolls some days!

At the little Co Op where I live Cathedral City cheese is currently on offer at £2.50, but there’s only about 3 on the shelf…because they’re all in giant plastic security cases. Bizarre.

@Greenbanana7

right, but there are lots of posts above your post. On fast moving threads it's difficult to know what you're reply too as invariably it's not the post directly above your post.

60p in Morrisons the robbing bastards

This comment has made me laugh..the dog has jumped off the bed in fright😂

Olive harvests have been decimated by disease and poor weather conditions, so the increase in price is nothing to do with the blatant profiteering that processed food producers charge.

I am not buying Pukka tea bags at £5 a box much as I love them. They are on sale at at Waitrose currently at £3.50.

I wish I could edit. "Profiteering in which food producers engage" would be better!

Price of kitchen roll lately is fucking unbelievable, it's become a luxury item!

@Greenlabelss

well, people who need to be more careful about how much they spend (lucky for you that they don't) they'd buy them elsewhere. I don't (yet) need to be too careful & don't have much storage space (to buy in bulk) so I just bought the 4 pack @ under £4.

the bigger tray (per tin) were much cheaper, but I just don't have the storage space.

Nor am I supposed to eat them, so 4 is more than enough!

About a year ago

Kitchen rolls in Asda £5.25 for 2

I was gobsmacked!

My local co-op seems to get raided daily by determined and professional shoplifters. They just walk in and empty the booze shelves. Also the self service till doesn't notice if you forget to scan. No wonder it's so expensive!

Lol who's wages actually inflated?
Are you still in the same job as 5 years ago?
Also, what do you do if its not a secret?

Where the fuck are you shopping?!

So do i, bought 10 today as our co-op is closing for 5 weeks.

Haddock fish fingers. £4.25 for 10 in
Andrex 9 toilet rolls £6.50
Heinz soup £1.70
All in Tesco.
