Wholesale prices are up so maybe not Tesco's fault.A lot of the coffee prices have rocketed at Tesco. I noticed yesterday-good job I don't drink it!

My local Sainsburys (normal size, not a Local) has only been having packs of 4. Must be bl@@dy expensive if you've got a large family.Agreed. It probably makes sense for a given store to standardise on the pack size they'll sell most of. For a large supermarket that might as well be either 9, 12 or 24. For a local shop, probably 4, primarily because people mostly travel to such shops on foot and only buy a small number of items to carry home.
Reminds me of the sketch in the Catherine Tate Show a few years back when Catherine, as mummy, shouts to her prep school kids in the egg and spoon race 'no, Sebastian, put them down, they're not organic.'I must admit I’m surprised about the absence of dried pasta here in St Albans. It is here, (allegedly!) that the ‘overheard in Waitrose’ comment was made by a yummy mummy shrieking down the aisle to her young son who was trying to be helpful by putting stuff in the trolley.
“NO TARQUIN. We do not have dried pasta! Go and get some fresh!”
Our local Coop is pretty well re-stocked now (apart from flour,) luckily their usual range of ground coffee is still available as it's very good and not excessively expensive.
Can't find any wholemeal breadflour anywhere yet, and Doves Farm online shop is locked down too!
Still don’t get stockpiling flour - what do you do with it, unless you’ve milk, butter etc as well?
A nation of suppressed bakers!
Pasta now seems back on the shelves in the evening when I go (hate qeueing!) albeit not a lot.
Don’t need personally is as I bought 1000s the other week
So you were one of the evil panic buyers recently?Don’t need personally is as I bought 1000s the other week

Is this a different method to achieving the same outcome as rationing?I picked up 2 tins of Heinz beans and nearly had a heart attack as I scanned them across the self-checkout till. £1.25????!! per tin. I promptly returned one back to the shelf. Sheesh!!
