I was in Super U last week. I always look at the GB food line. I occasionally buy some Yorkshire tea. It had been 5.25 for 250 grammes for about a year.
I looked at the price it had gone up to 7.50. :o
I was in there today it had gone up to 8 euros. :crazy:

Sounds like pure profiteering - I've never heard the expression "price gouging" !
250g of Barry's Tea (bags) Master Blend, is currently priced at 6,40€. We used to buy Twinings Assam in Jersey but don't bother as there's so little difference in price and our local Comptoir Irlandais is much more handy.

I don't drink tea, so problem solved.
