The photo was posted on Reddit with a caption: “The proper british response to pringles being raised to £3 in Sainsburys.” The note read: “£3 quid. You’re having a bleeding laugh ain’t yer!” The hilarious message received dozens of likes and comments.
One Reddit user wrote: “If you're fool enough to buy pringles for 3 quid then you deserve to pay that price.’
Another responded: “I remember when these cost a pound....”
A third commented: “It's been many years since I've bought pringles unless they are 50% off.”
A fourth replied: “Am I a rare one who refuses to buy treats unless they're on offer - they're not essential!”
Another said: “Most expensive I’ve ever seen them was in a spar and it was £3.60, I nearly died there and then.”
Pringles can be purchased in Sainsbury’s stores and online.
The delicious snack is often half the price during regular promotions.

Meanwhile a promotion at Morrisons means you can bag the same crisps for £1.50.
One Reddit user commented: “Most crisps are always on offer like 50% of the time at least.
“I never pay more than £1 for the big bags because I just need to wait a few weeks to get them cheaper.
“I'm never that desperate to pay extra for something.”

Another added: “Pringles must be one of those things that no one ever buys on full price, just like those fancy Naked or Innocent juice drinks outside of meal deals.”
