RiffRaff 10 #1 Posted March 5, 2020 A certain well-known "orange" supermarket has raised the price of 300g Nescafe by £2 overnight, it seems! Up to £7 a jar, but claims to be "price locked" (as it was before!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Stranza 10 #5 Posted March 5, 2020 Lidl bog standard coffee is popular here. Only a declared tea drinker doesn't like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
victormh 10 #6 Posted March 6, 2020 Correct - Nescafe is terrible, same as Cona and the types in places like McD and KFC etc Here in Malaysia the same jar is max UK Pounds 2-75 in major supermarkets such as Tesco, AEON, Jaya, Giant etc But has to be cheap because we have shelves and shelves of different coffees on sale, from Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia etc and excellent drinking strength and taste Nescafe is full of advertising hype, similar to Heinz and Kraft with their Plastic Cheese etc and cans of beans and soups etc with minimum taste - the Heinz Beans are too thin and watery and best avoided Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hauxwell 243 #9 Posted March 6, 2020 Has the coffee crop failed this year? That usually puts the price up if this is the case. Will just have to wait and see if other coffee brands go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
