Tesco jam is now 1.59. Last jar I bought cost 89c

I spoke too soon

Biscuits increased again

Custard creams 70c, bourbons 60c. I don't care that it's only 31c up, that's more than doubled in a year.

@Zardoz they're 2.19 in dunnes if that's any good to you, for 400g unsmoked or 390g smoked (both are apparently 5.48/kg...)

Thanks I ordered these ones on Tesco instead

Just done a shop in Supervalu and noticed tins of Coffee i bought when half price 4.50 are now 5 and now at 9.99 .Kenco and Nescafe

Actimel 12 pack were 4.50 now 5.49.

Even vitamins pills have gone up Seven Seas Cod Liver oil and maybe vitamins? used to 11 odd and now 14.

Many other things i passed on as gone up

I do believe Coke prices are going up march.

Used to buy 10 pack of Supervalu Apple and Blackcurrant water for 3 and now 4 . Not in stock last 2 times i was there.

I'm not great at watching prices from week to week, but last year around October-ish kind of time, I nearly choked at the till when I saw the price a 6-pack of Pedigree Chum Dog Food had jumped to. Used to be around €6.50 in Dunnes, but on this occasion it was €9.50+, so I switched to the Lidl stuff ever since.

I was in Dunnes today and see the Pedigree Chum is now €13.99. 😱

Ishka 5L water bottles gone from 1.29 in Dunnes to 1:45 sometime recently

If its an anomaly then they know full well about it and have done nothing to fix it because I emailed Aldi CS in August when they introduced their fifth price increase of this product and their third increase during 2022. At that time on a per kilo basis the same product was 65% more expensive in Ireland than it was in the UK. If it was 20% or maybe even 30% dearer you could maybe explain that off to transport costs, exchange rates, VAT rate, etc but a 65% price differential looks like price gouging on a popular product to me.

This was their reply

That last line is a fabrication because Lidl sell their version of Skin on Fries for cheaper than Aldi, back then Aldi were 40 cents more expensive. I pointed this out in the follow up email and sent them a photograph of the price label in Lidl to prove it and asked them were they now going to reduce their own price by 40 cents to price match Lidl as per their guarantee. They completely ignored the second email and didnt reply at all as theyd been caught out rotten telling porky pies. So their price guarantee is nothing more than weasel words that they wouldnt back up.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe the poster got it delivered or they didn't want to touch every packet on the shelf due to covid or other reasons? You say each packet can vary by between 10% and 20% fat so how do you see what's in between the top and bottom on show? That is if you can even see both top and bottom of the pack. I don't think their post was "ridiculous" but you have a habit of this in most threads I have seen your comments.

A lot of posters here just want to vent their frustration and anger at the way prices are going and I don't blame them. You can paint it any way you want but this country is a rip off.

Aldi - Milk Choc Digestives 300g 39c 45c 55c 65c

Lidl Aldi - BBQ sauce was 75c 79c 85c 99c €1.09

Yes I get my shopping delivered, have been doing so for 3 years, great service.

The quality of the rashers was always excellent as was most of the meat I ordered.

This packet was terrible as was the packet the following week.

Given the day that was in it yesterday

Feb 2022 Lidl McEnnedy Pancake batter was on special reduced from 99c to 70c

Feb 2023 on special reduced from 1.99 to 1.75 (when bought with lemon juice and chocolate spread)

And they've all gone up in price!
