Forgot to get my jar of Marmite yesterday, went today and its gone up 11p from 2.99 to £3.10. I'm sure I heard that inflation had come down.

You obviously go to the wrong outlets. You have many alternatives.

Why buy Marmite? You can purchase store brand yeast extract which is exactly the same ingredients and cheaper.

Wrong again B&M are allways last to increase their prices.

Store brand yeast is rubbish to many lights in.

If inflation goes down, prices increase still but at a slower rate.

True, but once prices increase, the food industry will hang on to those high prices even if it comes to them any cheaper wholesale. They will not go down now or later.

About 20 years ago my niece flew with Canada 2000 and came here for stopovers. She wanted to take back English foodstuffs for her mother (my sister) . Marmite and Branston was on the list. We got yeast extract and marmite in Sainsburys and compared prices and ingredients. The yeast extract was cheaper and the ingredients were exactly  the same.If you are mug enough to pay extra for the brand . Go for it.

If i choose the Marmite brand thats my choice.

Must be best answer for gully.

Certain items have to be branded, Marmite is one that i will not swap for a store own brand. 

 

On two threads now you have misunderstood what inflation  is. Falling inflation doesn't mean prices fall. It means they rise less quickly. And to quote one item marmite is frankly silly... rpi and cpi are based on a basket of 1000s of goods.

I've started to use the supermarket's own brand with a lot of things lately, especially cereals.

Tesco's own brand of marmite got some good reviews.

Retro. Your an angry little old man and it shows in all your posts not just mine. Get yourself some much needed anger management classes before its to late to reverse lovey.

he needs some good marmite

Or a brain evaluation.

Currently £2.99 at Aldi and £3 at Tesco.  I agree sometimes only the branded item will do.

It is a fact, though, that every single jar of yeast extract is made by Marmite.  I don't know if it's all the same recipe 

Question Author

I believe theres more B vitimins in marmite plus vegtable juice. Whenever some brand is coppied it does lack certain items, but some own brands do the job, its down to choice at the end of the day. Marmite for me has that extra bite in it.

the non-meat-based Australian equivalent, Vegemite, was originally called Parwill; I'll leave you to guess why
