The point is that of course we should rely on this study over a study based on what YOU decide to buy.

I'd have thought it'd be smarter not to rely on any study at all, but instead look at your receipts.

Only if you purchased the exact same thing at the exact same time a year after, from the exact same place. And also ignored any potential specials.

Ahhh good thinking batman - You've exposed yet another inconcistewncy betwen these stduies and real life.

Alevines wife: "geez the shopping was expensive this week darl"

Alevine: "no it wasn't - look at this study which says otherwise"

Alevines wife: "yeah but look at the receipt..."

Alevine: "no buts - look at the study"

Alevines wife: "you're a smacking idiot, and I want a divorce".

Yep..Libbos are dumber than dirt Grin

Yep , thanks to the duopoly of wololies and coles being allowed to kill off the farming sector.

just wait 10 years and we'll see if you can crow then adel.

average farmer age soon to hit 60.

think those 70 year olds will still be milking their cows for 15 cents a litre in 10 years Cheesy

15 years ago we didn't have Coles and Woolies buying all the small supermarkets companies to stamp out competition

More like
Alevine's wife: "Geez the shopping was expensive this week"
Alevine: "Well next time don't buy enough food to feed 6 people".
Alevine's Wife: "couch, go."

I exposed exactly why we need a standardised study to give us a proper indication of food costs.

You on the other hand are once again wrong. There goes that resolution, ey? Wink

Lol, I just read that story too, the funniest thing about it was it was in a NEWS LMD paper, the same mob that claimed a few months ago food prices would spiral out of control, and the dumb conga line bought the bullsh it hook line and sinker. I bet a hundred bucks cods and co will be along any minute claiming THIS story is wrong and food prices ARE out of control. Grin

skippy don't forget the price of tomatoes are out of control. They are going up in price every day that cods goes to the supermarket

Maybe cods should pack her bags - and head back home with Andrei ?

Families hit after supermarkets hike 'budget' food prices by as much as 110% in just a year

18 December 2012

Families relying on supermarket budget ranges to make ends meet are suffering some of the steepest food price hikes, research reveals.

The big supermarket chains have increased the price of more than 40 per cent of their own-label budget lines in the past year.

A host of Tesco’s cheapest Everyday Value products have seen inflation-busting increases. For example, an Everyday Value pack of apples is up from 71p to 82p, which is 15.5 per cent hike, while a cauliflower is up 20 per cent to 90p.

An Everyday Value round lettuce is up 14 per cent to 57p, while there is a 15 per cent increase on tomatoes and a 25 per cent rise on a 200g pack of soft cheese.

A 1kg bag of small potatoes from Asda’s budget range Smartprice is up by 17 per cent to 69p, while a 500g pack of tomatoes is up by 15 .4 per cent, to 90p. A Smartprice fresh chicken is up from £2.10 a kilo to £2.48, a rise of 18 per cent, while a pack of Smartprice bacon is up by 13.3 per cent to £1.70.

A similar pattern is seen with Sainsbury’s Basics range. A 230g pack of blue cheese is up nearly 15 per cent to £1.48, while a cheese and tomato pizza is up 50 per cent to £1.50. The cost of Basics digestive biscuits has increased by an astonishing 110 per cent.

According to retail analysts BrandView.co.uk, 153, or 43.3 per cent, of Tesco’s Everyday Value products cost more than the equivalent that was available a year ago.

Meanwhile, 137, or 41 per cent, of Sainsbury’s Basics products were more expensive.

No thanks.

I thought Budget deficits worried you?
In which case the massive blowout in the US deficit should come before saving a few dollars in taxation.
