Naturally, retailers are up in arms.

Oh, the poor wee lambs being taken to task for their price-gouging antics!

Well they can stop whining - they've had this coming since Liz Truss trashed the economy and the weekly shop went insane.

Don’t know what happened there - I was saying the British ready meals are quite nice, much better than ours so maybe make them taste like ours do . Vile. Not many rely on these here, you’d get sick !

After spending time in USA and Europe this year it was bliss to be back, so much cheaper here.

I fully agree with PaddyAnn! At least the Scottish government do their best to protect the poorest in Scotland which is more than Westminster do!

How do you do this? Take bread for instances supermarket own brand loaf in Tesco, wholemeal and white is 75p Warburtons thick white £1.40, & wholemeal £1.35 price matched to Aldi. You buy the one you prefer / can afford. Are they only doing it on unbranded items are we heading back to the value range of the 80's ? How are the local corner shop going to be able to match them. Yes food has risen in price, but people also buy a lot of convenience and "treat" type foods more than ever, families expect to have a cupboard rammed with crisps and biscuits soft drinks and weekly takeaways.
