Re: PG Tips
 

I used to fill a suitcase with PGTips. I actually used to empty the boxes into plastic bags so I could get more in the case. Always had secondary screening when I entered the US. Goodness knows what they must have thought the couple of thousand bags contained. :lol:

Not any more Poundland got brought out by Pepco who are a cheap clothing retailer.
The food isle is getting smaller every-time the wife goes in the one in Albir.
They also got rid of the DIY section in the three near us (I used to buy knives for my model making and they were really cheap)
We stopped using them recently as the prices on the shelves didnt match the barcode on the item. Happened alot the two people in front of us were complaining about being overcharged and the manager didnt want to know..

Re: PG Tips
 

Nice, I too do that a lot because way too often the packaging takes up way more space than all the teabags inside. Unless I have something fragile in my suitcase in which case I'll pack the entire boxes and use them as soft buffer zones. :)

I haven't been to any in Spain but if Pepco has taken over Poundland then they probably just want to convert those stores into regular Pepco outlets. Seems more like a multiple location grab than actually taking over the Poundland business. Which is a shame because Dealz on its own would have been very useful to us expats...

Carrefour selling UK tea but you won't like the prices! Glad I have given it up.

I buy Pompadour green teas in all sorts of fabulous flavours.

Re: PG Tips
 

PG tips are back in Mercadona.

I was just updating my next order and looked at the list of what I habitually buy in case I had missed something important and there they were. New packaging, 2.50 a pack of 40.

Re: PG Tips
 

Thanks for that.. Have stopped looking but will look on Monday...

I have found another source here in Valencia - an arab, indian - Asian supermarket - tajmahau??? there are 4 of them spread around the city..

Re: PG Tips
 

I went into a Mercadona in Benalmadena around Christmas time to buy some tea bags. I noticed they had a row priced at the normal 1.75 euros the row was empty. Next to it another row priced at 2.50 packaging looked a little different but same standard tea bags. So that explained why the other row was empty .

Re: PG Tips
 

It would seem the price increase is down to PG Tips rather than Mercadona and price has gone up in UK also .

Taj Mahal. Great place. The big Chinese supermarket next to the train station had some last time I went there and they have a great selection of spices, sauces and veg too.

Re: PG Tips
 

I was in the Iceland store in Benidorm yesterday - tons of Uk teabags on the shelf, sorry didn't record exact prices etc.

Re: PG Tips
 

Not surprised to hear that as there are so many Brits living/visiting that area. Becomes much more difficult in areas lacking in Brits.

Re: PG Tips
 

Also found plenty of teas, including decaf - in a British store nearby. Prices haven't changed much in several months.

Re: PG Tips
 

Plenty of PG Tips in Morrisons in Gibraltar. We bought a box of 210 and it cost £6.79.

Re: PG Tips
 

€9.00 for a box of 240 unless you drink Yorkshire then it was more...
We got a couple of boxes last week. I usually wait for the deal time when it drops to €7.50 a box.
But we are off to the Uk in April and Im driving so we will fill up with a couple of thousand...

Have found DialaPrix *on the way to Altea Cheaper than Iceland for tea bags and curry sauces. (I would rather make my own but her ladyship wont let me)

Re: PG Tips
 

Russels in Torrox have a good range of english tea types. Relatively exoensive as is the case with most expat foodstuff. We switched to teabags from Dunnes. Cheap and an excellent substitute for PG, Yorkshire et al.
