You still have Woolworths in Aus????

Ffs, Britain really is a wasteland with nothing good left.

Aldi crisps are decent over here, daresay if you have Aldi I'm Aus they'd be good too.
You don't have Woolworths in the UK any more?

The Pringles for sale at WH Smith - I thought that was a newsagent chain? They obviously also sell snacks at exorbitant prices. It seems odd that they can charge twice the stated price on the packaging.

Nope. The company folded as a high street presence in 2009. For memories as a kid going in around Christmas time and birthdays to buy toys.
 
Aldi had Worcester sauce and prawn cocktail crisps the last 2 weekends 🤩
They sound great 🤣 I must try them.

Have to admit, I am a bit of a purist when it comes to crisps - can't beat the old Smiths cheese & onion. Some of the Red Rock Deli flavours are pretty nifty, but they are so expensive when full price.

Third world britain. Well done tories!

Bank of England wont do a similar analysis, they've better things to do: playing darts and watching Peak Practice

Let's not forget the boat people, the trans-community, the disabled, and everyone waiting for help from the nhs.

So, according to this article, the likes of Tesco and Sainsbury's only make around 3-4% profit. That would be a terrible return for a small/medium sized business.

It works for large companies because they have the high volume to support low margins.. So, it's no surprise they need to protect their tight profit margins by raising prices.

These sort of stat's are wheeled out by the supermarkets and their apologist's A LOT.

Firstly, that's how they choose to publicise their profit.

Secondly, they make tens, if not hundreds of percent profit on fresh produce. You know, the healthy stuff that maybe ought to be encouraged more. What brings their overall profit margin down drastically is the corporate and UHP goods, where they very well may not make a one pc margin. Obviously it's up to them how they do this, but I do feel it's rather wrong that those eating predominantly healthy food (and farmers) are effectively subsidising the corporate junk.

So no, I'm not crying for the supermarkets and their alleged slim profit margin.
