What a bunch of chancers
Oh we understand how you are all suffering blah blah blah
Oh we have got a savers card
They sound like double glazing salesman
Rip off merchants
Huge salaries
Crap wages for the workers
Massive profits
Tesco donates to the tory party
Nationalization is the answer.
What we had until recently was a private monopoly between the 4 big market leadersNationalization is the answer.
Which is even worse
Price fixing ?
You have that side of things , we will dominate frozen veg etc
All tossers
It's not good related, but the striking thing for me is that petrol prices are all about 7-10p a litre cheaper in the supermarkets in Manchester than Cardiff. That demonstrates clear as anything that they could knock 7-10p a litre off petrol here.
I think there is also a big issue with some of the big food brand, Heinz in particular stand out. Stop buying their shit
Drakeford already wants control over what we eat i dont think this would help much!Nationalization is the answer.
AgreeNationalization is the answer.
The loyalty cards are ‘Big Brother’ at work. You are being monitored. If prices can be reduced and there’s deals available, do them for everyone. ‘Loyalty’ cards? What a misnomer when people have them for Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s etc
A couple of weeks ago there was a 10p litre diesel difference in price at Tesco &. Sainsbury’s Cardiff/Newport and
Bridgend/Swabsea. It was cheaper down west.
Nationalising supermarkets will be like COVID queues every week. Christ imagine that labour lot in Cardiff in charge of supermarkets. They will probably fine you for pushing your trolley too quickly
Not forgetting they pay their staff such poor wages that their wages have to be topped up with tax credits.
So basically we the taxpayers are paying for those at the top to take their huge salaries and bonuses and donations to the Tory’s.
It’s always socialism to the rescue.
And we are not talking small amounts here. It runs into the billions.
better get used to these types of supermarkets springing up everywhere in the next 10 years ninian opinion

I know what you mean regarding the nomenclature. It's obviously all about data and saves the supermarkets from rummaging in your dustbin.The loyalty cards are ‘Big Brother’ at work. You are being monitored. If prices can be reduced and there’s deals available, do them for everyone. ‘Loyalty’ cards? What a misnomer when people have them for Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s etc
It's been cheaper down Tenby way for quite a while. Significantly cheaper, we top up on weekends. It's only started to slowly level out over the last few weeks. Some small independents started doing it then the likes of Asda etc reducing it down that way. It's not because it's where the fuel comes from either as previously it was always more expensive down there.
I'm not sure about food but on fuel, there's definitely inflated prices

Not going to be a popular opinion, but I think the supermarkets are being used as a bit of a scapegoat here. There is quite a lot of competition in the sector, Asda, Morrisons, Tesco, sainsburys plus lidl and aldi.
Many of the supermarkets have also given out high percentage payrises recently. Although retail staff are still not well paid enough.
Most of the sensible, non partisan things I've read about the grocery sector recently suggest that it's the Unilever's and Heinz's(mentioned earlier in the thread I believe) who are doing the price gouging and raising prices far beyond their cost increases.
I think it was Tesco who had a Barney with heinz over pricing last year
In what respect
I would rather labour in charge than that fat tory landowner and the conservatives

i guess i shouldnt put the blame solely at drakefords door, but "lets do something different than England because we can" is Welsh Labour policy
I guess you agree with Bethan Walker's wise words "I understand what is going on, but personally, my view is that if I want to buy something with more sugar or salt in it then it's my choice."
Why she thinks she no longer has the choice to eat something higher in salt and sugar is anyones guess.
That is like the French resistance woman in allo allo reminding us that she'll say this only once every episode 🤭
just because they dont literally stop you putting chocolate in your mouth, doesnt mean that these plans arent a little too authoritarian for my tastes.
As usual, with any form of government intervention, the correct course of action should be education, but why do that when you can cut out the middle man and skip straight to controlling access to Dairy Milks.
Yeah education is the key, but I don't see anything wrong with a two pronged approach.
I have to be honest when I first hear things like the meal deals idea, I think the same. But surely improving health to reduce the burden on the NHS is a good thing. If you still want to cram the sugar and salt like Bethan you can still fill your boots
To say they're doing it just to be different to England doesn't seem right to me. What's the point in devolved Govt if they can't make different decisions
making different decisions for the sake of it (20mph, this, UBI, alcohol pricing etc) is my issue, not making decisions itself.
as for the meal deals, and itll effect other things like ready meals as well i imagine. this disproportionally effects poorer people (its always the case) and its just not realistic to think itll have any significant effect on Healthcare and the NHS, unless the plan perhaps is to starve diabetes out of people.
we put warning labels on food, and the traffic light system for calories/fats etc is superb, as someone whos trying to lose some weight ive put down something ive picked up more than once because of it. But give people the understanding to make those choices dont take it away from them
