Supermarket Price Increases [Groceries]

The cosy cartels or 'rent seekers' ... the high prices and limited options suits everyone except the consumers. So there's no concentrated lobby for change.

yes. 7 pack €2.50. Also Hunkly Dory, Snax, waffles and others

Why do medicines have to be separately licenced in each country? The human body is the same in all EU states. Why not give authority to the European Medicines Agency? During the pandemic the Irish medicines regulatory apparatus seemed like an unnecessary fifth wheel.

I trust Dunnes(haha)when the pack says 58g. The same happens with tomatoes across the supermarkets.Dunnes at lowest size.They are small for 58g but not interested in checking weight just buy elsewhere when time permits

tesco brand mouth wash, went from 0.61 cent to €1, to now €1.45. couldn't believe my eyes

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I got an e-mail about a week ago from Tesco to say their "delivery saver" prices are increasing to €15 per month shortly (I currently pay €10 per month).

A bit of a hike, but I suppose €10 was quite cheap if you use it regularly.

That's insane, almost tripled!

Tesco cornflour 89c on a clubcard offer for last while, non CC price €1.39. I think used to be around 99c before the current year of madness.

Now CC offer is over and its €1.99.

And apparently inflation rate is down.

Someone needs to tell the supermarkets, they've been outstripping it by a country mile for months now.

It says it all when you see supermarkets advertising butter @ €1.99 as a bargain.

Then you realise the price is for a ½ pound. A year ago I was paying €2.19 for a lb of butter.

When an outlet quotes the 'headline' inflation rate (or to put it another way, the overall rate of inflation) everything that a citizen might spend their hard-earned on is included - so, food, clothes, utilities, fuel, current mortgage rate or average rent etc etc etc.

All these categories are calculated individually, then the average of all of them is worked out and hey presto, you have your headline rate.

But food could be at 15%, clothes at 10%, fuel at 20% ... and so on.

In Tesco 4 Tex mex salsa dips were €2.49, now €2.99. Glass tumblers were €1 each now €1.50. This is getting ridiculous now!!

Lidl grated mozzerella gone up from 99c to 1.39c since the last time I bought it in October, not sure if it had a midway stop at 1.19.

Was in Tesco yesterday for the first time in a while and just out of interest took a look at the per kilo prices of sliced breast of chicken. One branded packet there was only 90grams and cost 3.60 so it had a per kilo price of 39.60 per kilo!

Ive stopped buying any packet ham or chicken now and just buy a full chicken instead. At least that can be got for 4 euro a kilo, dont mind almost 40 a kilo. Even in Lidl/Aldi packet chicken is working out pretty expensive and has almost doubled in price. Anything that is processed or prepared in any way seems to have gotten hit by higher increases. Better off just buying a chicken or ham yourself and cooking it rather than paying those prices.

Went into local Supervalu this evening, Box of Pedigree markies 500g, last year were 2.39, now 4.59

Box of Nescafe Dolce Gusto Latte pods, recently 4.89, now 6.79

Hate it when Supervalu are posting 'select' products that they are price matching with Lidl/Aldi yet 95% of their stock is soo much higher
