I’ve been buying cherry tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes for years. And I prefer the taste! Just a little budget tip for you guys.
If I wanted to be screwed from both ends I’d ask for it.
>Which? also found that Sainsbury’s Scottish Oats have shrunk from 1kg to 500g while the price increased from £1.25 to £2.10, a 236% rise per 100g.
That’s just robbery.
Look inside the next batch of breaded chicken you buy for your kids.
They’ve somehow found a way to make it hollow, so the outside looks the same, but there’s a hole inside with just a bit of chicken holding the shell together.
As long as people continue voting for the neoliberal status quo parties, nothing will change. This is why The Greens are gaining momentum. We need parties with far stricter legislation proposals to tackle the corporate and wealthy individual’s greed.
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, and Reform will continue to make things worse.
Maybe we should follow the logic of the Renters’ Rights Bill and have the supermarkets follow tribunals before they’re allowed to raise prices. We could then roll this out across the rest of the economy and solve the cost of living crisis.
Going to be microdosing baked beans soon, at this rate.
“To continue to offer shoppers great value” This statement to a consumer makes no sense, its not great value if your upping the cost but reducing the overall size, or reducing/replacing the ingredients…….once the price goes up it will never come back down and will continue to increase year on year, that’s not great value no matter how they want to spin things….
Its the same with bread. They have reduced the amount of wheat and fillers that the slices barely hold together while your’e putting butter on them.
Tescos are only making 2.9-3billion profit this year.
Give them a break! Times are tough and those private yachts ain’t cheap to run you know!
The cardboard roll inside a toilet roll has got bigger as well, it’s very noticeable.
All hail Quality Street, the national symbol of systemic enshittification.
Chocolate is a rare treat for me these days. I do mean birthdays and Christmas only right now. I could bypass the vegan tax with dark chocolate but even supermarket own brand is just too expensive to have as a regular treat these days. I am not even giving out chocolate for Halloween this year, I am giving out biscuits because it is cheaper to give out whole packets of bourbons and custard creams than to buy one of those selection bags of chocolates.
The most egregious I’ve found is the chicken tenders from Tesco now have a massive packet of sauce in them, so the weight has stayed the same, but now there’s a big pack of sweet chilli sauce in there instead of chicken. I absolutely hate Tesco. That was the point at which I started going to Aldi.
Each news article about this should include a reference to the funding of the main parties by supermarkets and food producers. It’s the only way to understand why shrinkflation is legal.
At this point… Do not make things smaller, raise the price. I want to see the true inflation and make decisions with my wallet.
Everyone needs to shop at lidl and aldi and let the others shops die.
I know even lidl and aldi are not as cheap as they were but they dont need to be when the main ones are so much. I go to tesco and asda for at most £30 a month on a few things that I cant get elsewhere but you still see people doing huge shops and must be spending £70+ extra vs lidl and aldi
