WR are only 1% more expensive than Tesco on these products now.

Talking of Price Match I noticed that Benecol youghurt drinks - 6 pack - was a damn sight cheaper (sub £3) before they were price matching with Tesco, so I bought them there. Then they price matched these to the Tesco price and they went up to £3.78 so that wasn't a great move by Waitrose. However it was even worse because Tesco have a long term deal whereby these are 2 for £6 so Tesco still come out cheaper even before you factor the points in.
