Re: PG Tips
Dealz is actually Poundland so although not entirely about food it should still have a decent food section with all the usual suspects.
The only tea I get is from M&S when flying from the UK, and since it's quite light anyway I tend to bring a year's+ supply with me every time...
Likewise I'll load up on tea in other countries, such as Poland for mint tea or Singapore for jasmine/green/oolong/roast rice tea. Good thing I travel light so there's lots of space for shopping...

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
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...

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
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
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.
