The forum police are moving stuff about.
Going off topic is one thing, not bothering to post it in the correct topic is another.

Sugar costs are on the way up again.
Morrison's 2Kg bags were up to £1.10 last week.
Lidl's 1Kg bags up to 64p today.
And my sugar shack is almost empty

I too noticed this steep increase.
The cheapest by far that I have been able to find is:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Tate-Lyle-Gran ... 1323158766Just under 50p per Kilo and free delivery.
I have ordered 40k.

I'll try in the morning, when less influenced

I am now uncertain about this.
I took the headline statement which offers 4x5kg (20kg) for £9.89 and free postage.

The price of £1.98 per kg appears to be based on the price per 5kg bag!
I ticked to order quantity 2, and paid £19.78. I assumed I had ordered two lots of 4 x 5kg.
It is now on its way but I have no idea what is coming now.

The sugar has now arrived. 2 x 5kg bags only, not 2 x 4 x 5kg bags.
The dearest sugar I have ever bought!
Carriage on returns has to be paid for by the purchaser.
I will be complaining about the (calculated?) misleading wording of the advert, meanwhile my apologies to any who followed this.
A clear case of caveat emptor

WOW. I read it the same as you. 4 of 5kg bags.
I have by the grace of the internet mis-connect god, not quite pressed the button. I JUST READ THIS ON MY WAY TO DO IT. The link didn't open properly on my phone and have just sat down on at my PC.
I will message them as a perspective buyer..

ebay recently refunded me on some weedkiller that proved to be a scam. Which begs the question - how cheap is too cheap?

SURLY THAT IS A MIS-PICK - the packer has not done the maths. I blame minimum wage!!
I have asked how they will ship the 4 bags ---lets see.

Having pondered on this, I think they might well claim that they clearly (in somewhat smaller type) indicated the actual price per kilo.
The expression '20kg 4 x 5kg' being the maximum you can buy at that price.
I now have 2 x 5kg bags for which I paid £19.78!
ED had his wits about him when he read it.

Ed. yeah don't you just hate it when that happens

D ...and under the influence...damn

Raise the complain with them (not eBay) and I would listen to what they propose. They will probably compromise/compensate you. They clearly solve problems 'cos they have a 100% feedback - which isn't easy given nearly 3000 items sold.
I have heard nothing yet.
