why the sudden price hike for Pringles?

All the supermarkets/food manufacturers have been down-sizing the size of the products but still charging the same, if not more, for their produce. Just look at the size of cereal boxes. They don't call us Rip-off Britain for nothing! Still, we Brits do take anything unlike the Yanks who will boycott products in a heart-beat if they feel they are being fleeced.

YES!! Here they use to be like $.75, and just a few weeks ago there $1.50! Its ridiculas, but they just came out with a lays brand here of the same kind of pringles chips and they're only $1. but they dont have very many flavors.

But yes I totally Agree!

credit crunch.

tactic for food producers is:

first lower the size, aka 200 down to 160 - but must go with a new pack design to mask the change

second increase the price

a plan almost all food producers use when the going gets tough

As they are imported and the US dollar has been devalued, plus most company's go through a package redesign and make over, here in Canada they range from $1.49 on sale to $1.99, but we have generic style one similar to those, and alot cheaper.

They were 2 for £2 in Morrisons recently, I'd shop around if I were you

The prices of pure chemicals are increasing and they can't use industrial grade chemicals.

they do not need to"justify"prices....they are fattening anyway....buy some fruit...

the bosses need new Golf Clubs.......
