Two litres of milk price increase/Dunnes?

We got a SuperValu grocery leaflet in our door and I was just browsing through it. We are fond of the Patak's sauces range. I noticed that they were €3 in SuperValu, checked online for Dunnes and they were €3.90.....then checked Tesco....€2.50. This was for a 450g jar.

It wouldn't have taken long to use up your Dunnes Stores €5 off with their prices.
 
Dunnes small Easter eggs €2 each. 3 for €4 in Tesco and €1.29 in Aldi. Activia yogurts were two packs for €5 in Dunnes....now two packs for €5.30.
 

The above change is going to take away one of the big advantages of Dunnes deliveries.
From April 2nd vouchers will no longer automatically apply to delivery orders.
You will have to have the vouchers in your account and these will have the normal expiry date.
This will certainly effect my shopping habits in the coming months.

Was just in Dunnes doing the weekly shop and had a little mini heart attack of sorts over the price of coffee
I like my coffee, I have in the past drunk quite a lot of it on a daily basis but have really cut down in the last year to basically a pint a day
I don't drink instant any more and haven't for the last decade but rather make a pot of ground coffee each day
I buy my ground coffee in Lidl, Café Gold 500g for €4.49 and I find it a nice coffee (or maybe I've just gotten used to it)

Any how noticed while walking around Dunnes that Lavazza was on special offer €14.80 for 500g reduced from €18.50
It's been a while since I priced checked the two but I always remember that Lavazza was in and around twice the price of Lidl's
Am I remembering correctly about the price of Lavazza and that it has shot up to 4 times the price of Lidl's Café Gold ??

Yeah just reading about it myself now and it would seem we're all in for a shock when it comes to the price of our cups of coffee
Lidl's coffee actually came down in price a while ago which I presume as it's blended they played around with the recipe
But there's only so much you can do with that and eventually if not sooner it will probably go up in price again
and hopefully before that happens they run a special offer where I'll stock up on it
 
A small reduction in milk prices in LIDL ... at least it is step in right direction:

Starting today, the prices of a 0.5-litre whole milk 3.5pc dropped from €0.75 to €0.72, with the 1-litre bottle cut from €1.25 to €1.19, a 2-litre from €2.45 to €2.35, and a 3-litre from €3.55 to €3.39.
 
We have always used the €5 off €25 spend in Dunnes. A few weeks back and out of the blue Tesco sent us a €5 off a €25 spend voucher. Since then I have been happily receiving a repeat voucher from Tesco and enjoying their lower prices compared to Dunnes on lots of items.
 
Assume 40 after vouchers
About 4 hrs work on min wage needed to pay for that after tax
Real comparision is how many hours for a similar job would it it have taken 30 years ago to buy that basket.

when I look at the trolley I'm stunned by how little €50 get us today

Is that trolly actually €50 worth of groceries (before vouchers)? That's surprising to me. While things have obviously got more expensive over the past few years (and some things have fallen back a little more recently) I'm still often surprised at how much I can get for €20-30 in Lidl. I very rarely buy big brands though.
