    Tesco own brand chocolate Rice Cakes (six pack), been 55c for a good while.. now 66c. 20% increase.

    Wasn't that long ago these were 35c a pack! (although that may have been a four pack).

    Not necessarily a price increase but the reduced section has really got to **** in most tescos lately I’ve noticed.

    Used to be quite the bonanza of items, now you see **** all in there anymore and what is there is only discounted about 20-30% rather than the heady days of up to 85% discounts on meat etc

    Perhaps they noticed it impacting their sales of fresh meat or something. Still annoying

    Most likely the staff picking the best for themselves like in my local.

    I used to get about 10 packs of clonakilty sausages for a couple of euro amongst other things all the time, now nothing worth while.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    The reduced to clear section in my local Tesco use be fine a few years ago but of late it's generally rubbish. They can have 20c off something and stuff is left there and bagged up. It used be donated to charity. Not sure if they do this anymore.(When they started doing this is when I noticed it getting poor).

    Similarly with Lidl they use be fairly good. Stuff used be marked done a few days before but now nothing really of value.

    I thought they were using charities to shift food items close to the date.

    I thought I read something to that effect.

    Tesco reduce the price during the day, then early evening they clear everything away for food cloud. Reductions have definitely worsened, a smaller % and off a higher price.

    I've visited my Tesco at different times before the Reduced to Clear stuff use be fine but now you'd see 50c of something valued at about €8.00 at 21:00 with that days date on it.

    M&S and Supervalu I thought were the only ones who actively donate.Tesco must discriminate-no reductions worth talking about ever where I live.Dunnes much better.

    Tesco Battered Cod used to be 1.65 not so long ago - now it's 3.10 - verging on a 100% price increase after going up a few times at this point.

    Yeah, ive noticed this price increasing steadily.

    How can frozen fish suddenly be double in price.

    i know a guy who buys breaded fish, then spends an hour hacking off the breadcrumbs so he has fish fillets.

    Tesco daily shower spray was 79c.

    Now it's €1.

    Quite the % increase!

    it was a bit of bargain to begin with - maybe a loss leader.

    The base cost surely hasn't doubled but certainly has been subject to serious price increases on the retail end for the consumer in Tesco - at an alarming "scale".

    I've noticed various toiletries in Lidl and Aldi have gone up a similar percentage, and more, over the past year.

    Local Lidl had 6 large eggs for a cheaper price than 6 medium eggs. Only a few cents different... I think it was 1.15 Vs 1.19...

    Was looking for cushelle toilet paper. Can usually get it somewhere on offer for around a tenner for 24 instead of the usual €13. Checked tesco earlier and it was €18.50!! I also overheard two guys stacking shelves comment on the crazy increases in prices.

    Tesco own brand Soya has gone up from 75c to 95c. Aldi and Lidl were selling their own brand for 75c, but have been out of stock for a few weeks now. I presume when it's restocked, it'll be 95c too.

    It is cheaper than a litre of milk now though!

    legend has it that the Tesco price increase phenomenon has now become a circular infinite system with the constant price labelling printing and reprinting and much extra effort in manual price label removal and replacing on shelves driving up operational costs and subsequent prices to feed itself!

    tesco 10 skinny hotdogs are now 1.69, they were 89 a year or so ago.

    I have taken to shopping in dunnes, since small value vouchers are easy to get now. The german salami similar 10 pack, same weight it s 1.87 in dunnes, so a lot cheaper with the discounts.

    1.2kg chicken is 4.19 in tesco, and 3.79 in dunnes, another no brainer if you are getting up to 25% off that. It is usually in the 3 for 10 deal in tesco, but I do not want that much stuff, and other stuff in that offer are pretty much non-offers.
