PROFITS AT WAITROSE ARE SHARED BETWEEN PARTNERS.

I just look around all the supermarkets and wait till 'Buds' hit ten squid then i'm off down there pretty sharpish...

So much for you trying to lose weight Lioned.

There used to be 20 bottles in a box and just before last Xmas they reduced the size of the box down to 15 bottles at 330ml.Made it cheaper to make you think your getting a bargain but you wasn't really.
But on the whole booze is loads cheaper now than a few years ago when you had to go on a 'booze cruise' to the French supermarkets to get box's that cheap.
Just wondering if i should go get a few more box's as i think the partys at my house this New Years !!

NOT SURE IF ALREADY MENTIONED,LOOSE POTATOES,OTHER FRUIT AND VEG COST MORE IN A PLASTIC BAG.

Peperami's are about an inch shorter than they were a month ago.That translates to about a 15% increase in cost.
They are made in Germany for Unilever UK.

I bought a bag of plaster today that cost me £9.27 and last year the same bag was £8.00. That is a 12% increase.

Everything is going up far more than the rubbish inflation figures touted by the twats in Whitehall.

Yes, evwn the chocolate bars are smaller. Apparently Tesco has made a loss in the last 4 quarters so that tells us how serious the situation is.

Tesco has a half price offer of 4 tins of chopped tomatoes for £2. It doesn't seem like very long ago that I was buying chopped tomatoes for 30p a tin. Now 50p a tin is half price?

THE BATCHELOR'S CUP A SOUP USED TO HAVE 5 SACHETS,NOW ITS 4.(TESCO'S I BUY THEM FROM)
HOW MUCH HAS TESCO BEEN MAKING RECENTLY?

MORRISON'S ARE OFFERING 5,000 CUSTOMERS FREE SHOPS PER DAY OR IS IT WEEK?

That sounds like desperation to me! Things must be really bad - this is the " shrinkage" expected from a double dip recession.
