Sugar Prices

[SteveJ]

Just been to buy some sugar from Bookers. 50kg for £28. (£0.56/kg)

Last year same place was 50kg for £20. (£0.40/kg)

Which is basically a 40% increase from last year.

Has anyone found anywhere cheaper?

Morrisons are THE cheapest. 88p for 2kgs. (been through them all)

Was pricing two tons in NI and the best I have been quoted works out at £0.56 per kilo. No Morrisons to go to...

In Finland Lidl has £ 0.55/kg. So the same price..

Average 20 kg/hive wintering cost. It is not much. But 20% rise compared to last year.

 

[For want of a better word]

ALDI.... ask to see manager and see if he will do a deal for a pallet?
Paid £340 so worked out at 34p a kilo ( lot of bags to open in 1 kilo bags... but make good firelighters!)... you will need something that a fork lift can load onto... or if off loading into cars put up with the sarky comments... like My word ... you must have a sweet tooth.. etc etc!!
Topped up with sugar last year as did not order enough invert and mis-calculated how much the yellow stripey girls would store away!

Yeghes da

I need to keep better records I knew it had gone up a bit but not quite that much I bought 200kg yesterday.

 

[Into the lions den]

World price has gone back up a fair bit....and the pound is down 20%. Higher prices to be expected. The prices being quoted by some are just loss leader rates, little reflection on the price you can get from major traders. Yes its cheaper but would never get the job done opening all these kilo bags.

LOL alfazer.....quite so...a subject that would readily invite such a turn of debate.

Could be...

Tate & Lyle was one of the only large employers to campaign openly for Brexit during the referendum and, after Theresa May invokes Article 50 on 29 March, sugar will be on the frontline of the upcoming battle over Britain’s economic future.

IN Walmart USA 2 kg cane sugar is £ 2.3 .
Almost double price compared to EU sugar.

Yes, it is fairly common to find that the same product is a different price in other countries.

Thanks for the information, went to Morrisons today and got stocks in. They are also saving damaged bags for me...result!!

I have noticed that even the same product has different prices in the same supermarket.

( I hope that Millet understand this too)

Didn't realise they used sterling?

Yeah, if I write Euro, then you would not realise even that bit.
If you compare prices between two country, it is better to do with same currency.

Yes, we use in Finland sterling, and many other money units, like Russian rubla, Swedish kronor, credit cards, gold bars....
