    Standard inflation. But also I think sugar prices have been going up.

    Also marketing practice. They might have started low to get people to try them, now people have tasted them and realised they are high quality and on a par with, or better than, coke/dairy milk they will be willing to pay more.

    I value real/lidl/supervalu versions of twix bars equally. I value lidl/aldi decent chocolate higher than dairymilk.

    Not only sugar, but things like cocoa, coffee etc. that are traded on the world commodity markets are subject to price fluctuations when supplies are limited due to bad crops in certain key countries. Supply and demand to put it simply.

    +1. Super value twix's are identical. 5 (smaller) bars for €1.13. No brainer.

    Now the Freeway Diet Coke has been replaced with a 'Premium Diet Coke' which has nothing on the Freeway - anyone know if the Freeway Diet Coke is coming back??

    I was happier to pay the higher price for something that was half decent now the lower price is just for pure crap...

    Lidl also seem to have changed supplier for their large eggs, they are much smaller than the last ones and the same price.

    The Egg market has been in a bit of turmoil since the battery ban came in, lost of producers have simply quit instead of changing over.
    Egg prices have risen a good bit since the ban came in.
