Funny, I was told by an assistant at Lidl that the reason for the empty frozen cabinets was lorries not just delivering frozen goods for some reason.

And where beans are concerned, everybody buy according to their own taste and pocket for them.

And Tesco and other Supermarkets have some room to talk with the claim that they are not passing price increases by others to the customer when for example, the price of a four pint bottle of milk since the ending of Covid restrictions has increased from around £1.10 to £1.35. What Farmer is getting most of the 25p increase?

The Supermarkets know that items like milk, bread and petrol are some of the most bought items and that they can get away with big increases on essential items because they know that people will still find the money to buy those items.

Our country is renown for being "Rip Off Britain" which has gone even worse since the Covid lockdown as manufacturers, wholesalers, sellers etc have jumped on the bandwagon of recovering financial losses incurred in the pandemic!

But what do we do about it, nothing apart from making cut backs like buying cheaper beans etc in order to still enjoy running around in a car, buy an inflated price ticket for a football match, latest Smart Phone etc.

As for convenience stores, how many are selling items at even bigger inflated prices which they have bought from Supermarkets like Aldi, Lidl etc.
