Morrisons own brands

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of Morrisons own brand stuff has gone ?
I've always bought own brand stuff and over the last few weeks they've disappeared from the shelves.
Having to buy branded stuff is getting expensive !

    Your right there, last time i went in they was hardly any own brand products and the food went up almost twice the price over night.Got quite a shock went i got to the till at the amount i spent for very little food.
    I now shop at sainsburys who now have MORE own brands than ever before, and my shopping has halved since i stopped going to morrisons.

    I'm quite lucky i live close to my local shopping centre so i can walk they and back, before i moved morrisons was the only place i could go. I don't drive either.

    Have you tried ordering online i do that too with Sainsbury's, tesco and asda do home deliveries too/ Also you can get codes which gives you money off shopping and free delivery.

    Yes , they've raised prices, removed loads of their own brands and now they do lots of two for one and BOGOF offers. If you aren't careful and haven't checked your bill after picking up items with these offers then you might have paid full prices instead of the discounted prices. Happened to me many times.

    I have to agree with you. I stopped shopping at Sainsburys a couple of years ago (cos i thought they were expensive) and swapped to Tescos,i then noticed that they have stopped doing alot of the value and own brand products recently,and their prices have shot up:mad: I have now gone back to Sainsburys and my food bill has gone down at least £20-30 per week.
