There is less room to move to absorb higher transport and energy costs in cheaper brands
There is also less room to move on substituting ingredients
There is a website called trolley.co.uk (basically the new mysupermarket) where you can see how much any individual supermarket item costs and what it cost over the past 12 months. it gives email/notifications on price changes.
We will all be eating pasta and sauce soon sne be greatful for it.
Even with the clubcard con discount 4 tins of Heinz beans is £4, never paid more than £2 for 4 before, absolutely disgraceful
Morisons are the absolute worst for this.
Several of the items on my daily shop are 40% more costly in their stores now compared to tesco, sainsbury’s and obviously aldi’s own brands. On a point of principle i avoid buying them, they’re taking the mick.
this proves my point. 10% inflation yet the actual prices are 20% in a month. inflation is made up haha
It’s 5-10p here and there, however that adds up over the course of a shop. Even ASDA Essentials started going up as soon as they put their budget brand back on the shelf. I am lucky enough to only be mildly affected by this, however there will be people skipping meals every day because those price increases mean they cannot afford to eat multiple times a day every day. We are supposed to be one of the richest countries on Earth, yet stories like this show that the wealth is all concentrated at the top, with those at the bottom getting less and less each year.
Wait so inflation is at 10.whatever and it went up almost double that? Not sure that makes sense.
1 pint of sainsburys bog standard milk is now the same as the fancy organic branded one..
There’s always loads of the fancy one left, and barely any of the normal stuff.
Always makes me laugh. People really are creatures of habit.
