Passiflora Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 After Christmas and the New Year and Sainsburys have a sign all around the store about 'Price lockdown' but a lot of their stuff has increased in price since before Christmas. Anybody else noticed this? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/214996-sainsburys-dog-kennel-hill-price-increases/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncleglen Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I noticed the soya milk has gone up by 5p but nothing else that I bought Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/214996-sainsburys-dog-kennel-hill-price-increases/#findComment-1306794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townleygreen Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I was pleased that Glade air freshener - which has been ?1.30 in there for a few years - is now locked down to ?1. The same price as in Wilko's. Progress!

Passiflora Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Some fruit and veg have gone up i.e. a large cucumber before Christmas was 60p and it's now 65p. Pot of original houmous was ?1 and it's now ?1.35. Pack of fish which was always a fixed price has gone up 20p. Noticed lots of other bits but can't remember prices before Christmas.

RouxRussell Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I noticed this with Kerrygold butter and put it down to the currency variations in Euro to Sterling having a knock on effect. Presumably impacting other goods too.

diable rouge Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 This is a list of the items Sainsbury's are saying are on 'lockdown'... https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/new---trending/price-lockdown-all#langId=44&storeId=10151&catalogId=10123&categoryId=417393&parent_category_rn=355372&top_category=355372&pageSize=36&orderBy=FAVOURITES_ONLY%7CSEQUENCING%7CTOP_SELLERS&searchTerm=&beginIndex=0&hideFilters=true&facet=What you have to bear in mind with any savings a supermarket offers, is that some other products will go up in price to counter the savings. Supermarkets aren't in the business of giving away money...

Passiflora Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Or maybe Sainsburys have discovered that most of their cleaning products, shower gels, wipes, bleach, bathroom, kitchen cleaning products (more or less everything on the list) can be bought in the local pound shops at cheaper prices so they are now 'locked down' for however long?

Jules-and-Boo Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If you look around, you can find deals - coffee usually has markdowns in different shops at different times.I manage to shop in Sainsbury's relatively cheaply, but it is hard work.Apples vary from ?1.50 for 6 to ?3 for 4.I do shop around though and get bits from different places mostly. Sainsbury is nearest though. I have noticed that not all items are priced on the shelves which is confusing. Nuts near the jam for instance - some packs are significantly cheaper than others for the same things. None are priced though so I get the cashier to check them and then decide which I want.

Earl Aelfheah Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Maybe linked to the drop in the value of the pound? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/214996-sainsburys-dog-kennel-hill-price-increases/#findComment-1307482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just be pleased that you don't live in the Falkland Islands where it will cost 10 times or more for fresh fruit and veg.
