cornflake price hike shocker!

Gaspode · 28 Aug 2016 at 08:50

this is sorta part tongue in cheek but also I am a little annoyed.
doing my usual Tesco online shop and their basic cornflakes shot up by 56% since last month.

Tesco Everyday Cornflakes Cereal 500G went from £0.25 to £0.39 ouch.

I'd say you've got off lightly with that one.

These days they'll cut some of the product out (such as giving you 473g of something) then still rake the prices up.

Is this when you are supposed to say, "every little helps"...

All depends on how the harvest goes same for potatoes and all foods, bad harvest then have to import more food.

I'd be hesitant buying cereal for 25p. Where do they make the money?

Why aren't you at Waitrose like the rest of OcUK ?

I've tried those everyday flakes, they taste like little shards of cardboard mixed with sand. Take the increase as a positive thing as it might force you to buy something else that includes flavour.

Peasant!!

It's all about M & S own brand cornflakes, £3 a box.

99% sugar most likely. So sugar price must have risen.

Nah you haven't, its just that most people on here appreciate food that tastes better than the packaging it comes in.
