£7 for standard Colgate toothpaste in Sainsbury's this morning. What the hell is that about?

Sainsburys has become horrifically expensive, more so than Waitrose I’d say (or Booths in the NW). That item would be 50% of the cost in Lidl.

It certainly has. I prefer it to Tescos but might have to bite the bullet. I have to travel further for a Lidl or Aldi and can’t get all I need in those so don’t usually bother.

They used to blame it on the cost of fuel but that’s now 30p less a litre than 2022 when the cost of living crisis started so that doesn’t wash. They’re put the prices up and won’t bring them down. Just like electric and gas where the companies are making 10s of billions or profit a quarter

I noticed this very thing last week. Tbf they also had plenty of other Colgate variants that were 2 or 3 quid so I just got one of them instead. 7 quid is a joke though.
