When contacted, the store said: “We buy these packs for £13.99 each plus VAT, the recommended retail price is £14.99 and above.
“We understand it is expensive and on a normal day it would not be competitive.
“We have a big range of toilet paper; we have Happy Shopper brand which is four for £1.79.
“But people have come in and panic bought and now we are rejecting customers we know on a first name basis.”
A picture of the 18-pack toilet paper with the £17.99 price tag has been circulating online.
Tesco are currently selling a 16-pack of Andrex Toilet Tissue for £8.95.
