You didnāt say that you only bought them when on offer.
Other consumers may have to (or prefer to) buy Tetley 240 bags of tea every week, regardless of cost.
IIRC youāll get that done pdq.

Then they need to be more savvy. Who drinks away 240 teabags in a week?
Or, apparently, supermarkets to visit ā¦

Big families.
You can look online at the prices the supermarkets are charging. There used to be a great supermarket comparison site but it closed down some years ago.
Now thereās another one but itās not great.
Ah, so you have the time to click on supermarket sites ā¦ 
That are at home all day and up all night?
How would I know?
I donāt understand the antagonism towards the poster of this fact-based bit of information.
The ONS track all sorts of info to keep track of cost of living, inflation etc - if it doesnāt interest someone, they can just ignore it, instead of being shirty and āshooting the messengerā !
I find info like this interesting and useful.
I have noticed a large increase in the price of tea bags in recent months, so I do try to wait until I see my favourite tea-bags on offer - even my sister who is not a cost-conscious shopper mentioned to me that her Lady Grey teabags had nearly doubled in price.
I donāt use vegetable oil much but I was reading a business finance article about the impact of rising cost of vegetable oil on some types of cooked food outlets.
Apparently thereās been a shortage of vegetable oils for some time, arising from multiple factors, which has driven up the price - poor harvests in South America, Labour shortages due to Covid, lack of supply from Ukraine which is usually a big exporter.

I canāt understand why itās not obvious to anyone why Art has to go through 240 tea bags in a week. Sadly, she canāt afford to use the tumble drier any more to dry out the used ones, ready for recycling them. Add in the cost of ironing them too!! Itās a no-brainer.
Boot, l wish you wouldnāt use you TL3 capacity every time l post on a thread that you are not agreement with my views.
It puts me off, deters me from posting and spoils my enjoyment of the siteā¦
Please try to use your position to be more impartial.

Apparently:
So, if my calculations are correct (240/4=60; 60/7=8.6) a family unit of 9 (tea-drinkers) would get through 240 Tetley tea bags a week ā¦ 
Omah, I would have loved to have replied butā¦ itās best l exit this thread.
I did enjoy the thread though. Thank You.

I have never used the āTL3 capacityā in my life! - I donāt know how to!
I just post my opinion on threads as a regular poster, like everybody else.
I didnāt realise that every poster on here who happens to have that TL3 level must remain impartial and is no longer allowed to express an opinion - if thatās the case, then the debates would get a bit boring!
Please donāt let me put you off posting just because I am posting my personal opinion - my opinion has no more āofficial standingā, weight or importance than yours - on threads, we are all equal. 
Oh contraire. Youāre more like a chopsticks to my Grande Polonaise. 
I wonder if people are buying cooking oil to use as fuel in their diesels.It would certainly put the price up if the establishment cotton on to what they are doing.
Anyone who shops at Tesco and uses a loyalty card will benefit from some very good discounts on selected items.
Just sounding off in shock here but in Asdas a can of Princes Stewed Steak is Ā£2.60!
Horrified 
I fancied a plate pie like granny made and it always used to be a budget meal. I add some fried onion and a stock cube, dash of Worcester etc to make it nice. Home made pastry.
But Ā£2.60 and thatās mostly gravy. Iāll look in Farmfoods to see if theyāve got it cheaper, but thatās ridiculous
