Are the supermarkets ripping us off?

Inflation is now dropping at its fastest rate for 16 years thanks to falling fuel prices. But despite this the cost of a typical shopping basket leapt to 21.3 per cent in November – adding more than £1,100 a year to family grocery bills. Are the supermarkets ripping us off by not passing on price reductions?

    Petrol might have gone down but only from the ludicrous prices of the last 9 months. When we get back to the 65p odd a litre we paid only two years ago, when crude was at the price it is NOW! then perhaps we can talk about real savings. All these greedy ba*tards are still ripping us off, BIG TIME, Hit them where it hurts, by shopping at the cheap outlets for a month, they'll soon get the message and watch the prices tumble.

    Super market managers have more control on our lives than do the Politicians. They know you are going to pull your belt in and spend less and go for cheaper. So what do they do ? They make cheaper dearer ! Just take a look at how beans have gone through the roof ! They are playing you like a fiddle !

    i forgot to mention ,the reason GB sold off the gold was because he and TonY B had already decided we were ,as a country,going to be full members of the EU as soon as they came to power.but part of the agreement is that when a country becomes a full member of the EU it has to hand over all gold and money reserves to the european bank and this was GB & TBs way of getting out of it,knowing they were putting this country in financial jeopardy and then using the excuse that the EU were coming to our rescue by offering us the euro as our currency but at a highly deflated value.unfortunatley TB is not in power to see this happen but he will still be offered the job as lifelong president with GB as his sidekick,there reward for causing this mess.just watch for this within the next 2yrs.

    one day God will have His say. What will they do when they stand before Him to answer for all the people who have suffered through them. Look what the Book of Revelation says about businessmen.
