    Oatcakes were 78p now 87p
    Arla milk was £1 now £1.08

    The worse thing is that the 3 for £10 wines are now 3 for £12

    Who says inflation is low........

    How can it be worse that alcohol is going up by more than food?

    I agree, you can get big price saving deals on booze but you dont see its on essentials do you?

    Wouldnt it be good if they did 3 for 2 on food instead of wine

    Dont get me wrong so do I !! I was just thinking of families really that are on a tight budget. They should do it on nappies and things that families struggle to afford.

    I have seen some of the Morrisons adverts for extremely un useful things on 3 for 1 like Pringles, I was only thinking about families on a budget so it would be good on nappies and things that people struggle to afford. But maybe you can enlighten me as I dont shop at Morrisons so maybe they have some great deals?
