French supermarket Carrefour has put stickers on its shelves this week warning shoppers of "shrinkflation" - where packet contents are getting smaller while prices are not.

No chance of that happening over here. Our supermarkets are more than happy to price gouge, sometimes increasing costs by over 100% by shrinking product. They use every trick they can get away with.

Sainsbury's seem to be giving up on 'twice the price without a loyalty card', are making it twice the price regardless. I presume that only existed to fiddle some figures, pretend they aren't ripping people off as much as they are.

It's another hurrah for capitalism and the elite helping themselves to our money.

Remember folks; socialism is evil. As is wanting to feed your kids.

Which? says Sainsbury's and Tesco are inflating the regular price advertised for a product so that the promotional prices offered to loyalty scheme members look like a better deal than they really are.
