Supermarket Price Increases [Groceries]

Unless toasted definitely not.

So what do people do with the multiple sliced pans that are in their trolley- you’d hardly eat all three sliced pans at the same time?

edit:-

We buy 6 sliced pan per run to Aldi. Into a chest freezer it goes. Now if we fancy a bacon sambo we would go to the local shop and get a fresh loaf. l have to agree most of the frozen stuff gets toasted or used in the toastie machine. Id be more fond of a wrap and pasta for a pre-prepared lunch for example. Anyway delis need to display prices for everything to show customers some respect in the first instance. If they do this then everything would be fine. I find it bizarre the main debate seems to be the asking / not asking for a price. Shops are acting the bollix because theres more profit in not displaying. Seems pretty obvious.

Tesco brand porridge oats 1.5KG are now €1.19, I remember a few years ago they were 60c.

Nobody said the customer was entirely to blame. Its just not hard to ask for a price and I believe its poor form to ask for something to be made for you to then say no. The shop isn't going to resell it. Its a very different argument. Its poor form on both sides.

You're making a pretty wild assumption that most delis are breaking the law. Its more than likely that you just don't cop that there is a price list. As Ezeoul described earlier when they went and spotted it, usually an A4 sheet somewhere. Even with a price list, I don't think it takes away from the spirit of your point and the shop, in my opinion, should be displaying their prices is an obvious and clear manner.

Again, nobody is saying the blame lies exclusively with the customer. In fact, nobody is saying there is blame. Its not against the law to hand back the item. I just think its poor form to not ask for a price first if you're not willing to pay for it after its made. It wasn't anything more than that.

I'll leave it there tho. There's no need to go round in circles and derail the thread any further. Everyone can have differing views.

I would ask especially if no indication of the price of anything on display.Sure sign of a rip off coming.

Could be seeing a business person/family stocking up for their own deli/restaurant.I see it at least once a month-different people with different goods but always excessive quantities

You may need some 'skills' to view this.

Short of setting up a nationalised supermarket chain (NOT a good idea) it's up to private businesses to set their prices.

I’m on holiday and the French know how to complain about food, first of all they weren’t happy with sugar on the pancake, then said pancake was dry and overcooked. The lad behind the counter redid their order, two or three pancakes. Was just thinking again about this thread and how we don’t tend to complain.

Out of interest is there much enforcement of signage and pricing

Ya couldn't believe a price in my local svalu

And if its not that they do the trick of advertising a special offer but the item in the offer space isnt on offer , same product but different size and price

🤣 oh dear God. Maybe a good reason for seeing the food cooked in front of you ! Heard stuff like this years ago here like waitress spitting in food if you complained. Was shocked.

I freeze bread in portions and I've never noticed any difference in taste or texture once it has defrosted at room temperature. Just take it out of the freezer the night before if you want to make a sandwich in the morning. You can butter the bread, pack the fillings separately and assemble before eating.
