Price of Paracetamol

[ClaireNJ]

Anyone else noticed there’s been huge increase in the tablets
Wilko used to be 20p for 16, now 70p
Just been Tesco used to be cheap but now 75p 😳
First world problems I know but that’s some mark up, had a few migraines recently so needed to stock up

I just paid 55p from Tesco (for Ibuprofen but they're usually the same price) on my click & collect order, but I was saying to DH the other day that I think Tesco have increased their prices across the board.

Everything feels more expensive than it was at the beginning of the year, I do feel that businesses are making up for their losses / extra expenses, which I understand, but people are struggling also, horrible state of affairs.

Hope your headaches don't continue

Yes I’ve noticed too, most places open brand were around 20/30p but they have at least doubled

I work in a pharmacy, within a supermarket. We order in our own paracetamol and only make a very very small (pennies) profit. We sell a box of 32 tablets for £1.49. The price has gone up within the last 6 months, but that is purely because we are having to pay more for them.

I often wonder what items are considered when they publish the RPI/CPI data as most of the items we purchase cost more now than they did a few months ago.

Still 29p in Asda, how long for. (the caplets and capsules are more expensive)

[Mr Tom Morrow]

Just checked online. Wow they have gone up. However:-

75p for 32 in Superdrug
29p for 16 in Asda

[DISNEYLIZ]

Aldi are still doing them 29p for 16

I buy the branded ones in the blue packet. Call me a snob if you want but I definitely think they perform better.
