tonkatoy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 In my local Tesco, American peanut butter £4.25 for a 450g jar. Are they having a laugh??? :hihi: I would assume if Tesco are stocking it, it is because folk are buying it. There are folk around happy to pay £20 plus for a bottle of wine despite the fact others sell wine at £3/bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I would assume if Tesco are stocking it, it is because folk are buying it. No....It's a new promotion. They have designated an area specifically for USA produce. There's US flags and bunting all over. No doubt in a few weeks it will be on special offer at £2 or thereabouts.

I buy Sun-Pat peanut butter. I don't know what the American one taste like,as I won't be buying it. (well not at that price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
