But you specifically said, in bold, that the big retailers are profiteering.
Big retailers are accepted as Asda, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury. With Aldi and Lidl next in line.
The big 4 are working directly with government on food supply chain. They are not altering prices.

Of course you'll see idiots selling higher on ebay or some individual small traders looking for an extra lift but that's not the same as you said.

BoB milk went up from £1.50 to £1.79 in a week in Asda, what ever the reason it’s a decent rise.

Providing the price comes down once this whole epidemic is over, I have no problem with it because otherwise once it is all over we’ll have no supermarkets to go to.

20% is drastic but nothing compared to other manufacturers/distributors.

Thought you'd be concentrating on buying pies anyway.....
May I suggest getting the milk from a proper milkman (mines Milky Pete) like I do... 60p a pint and it keeps him busy!
Thats if you can of course....
Better than the milk from any supermarket too......

That's a funny example because it's actually on at £1.75 and that's still the cheapest price in the big 4 supermarkets
Looks like an offer that just ended.

And Sainsbury in their defense have a higher price because they give profits to Sports Relief.

I did want to tell you as the person in Asda is giving you misinformation or doesn't understand.
I can tell you I am personally not working nearly as hard as those in stores or depots.

Probably was an OTT reply but I felt like I needed to say it.

OK I'l let you off!

No seriously guys, respect to you both for your efforts in keeping the country going....as I said on the other thread, we all need to learn tolerance and understanding at this desperate time and if you two can continue to get on then surely the world will be a much better place when we eventually come out the other side

I’ve had some beauties sent on WhatsApp that are doing the rounds, absolutely side splitting, to me any way, but no doubt would upset many here. Definitely cheered me up for a bit.
