StephenFord Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I am a huge Lucozade Zero Original fan. I've loved Lucozade since a kid, but the onset of Diabetes stopped me drinking it, till they launched the 'zero' variant a few years back. Pre pandemic, you could often get it on offer for £1/liter. Then Lucozade changed the pack size from one liter to 900ml, but price remained the same. (Apparently they did this because of customer demand, because us customers always want to pay more for less!) Now however, having been unavailable for almost a year, it's been released last week in 500ml bottles at £1.69 = £3.38/liter! That is a a whopping 338% increase! Anyone else have an example of a favourite rocketing in price? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Mr Kipling Bakewell tarts. Three quid for a box of 6 now!! 😮 Needless to say I haven't bought any at that price. Some of the own brand ones are awful though, far too sweet for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
