A silly time to post it as it will probably get lost in post-match chat 18:02 - Feb 12 with 645 views

But many of you read my thread about Jack Monroe explaining price inflation and cutting of basic ranges in supermarkets.

Please read this account of price inflation by ArnoldMoorhen 21 Jan 2022 14:52
For the poorest in society.

It will take you 3 or 4 minutes to read the whole thread (not replies from others) but the big reveal comes in the middle.

If you, like me, have noticed a few things getting more expensive but can cope, this explains why, and where the price rises have been focused:

As Jack says, the majority of members of the media come from very similar backgrounds, and wouldn't have a clue that this is the story that they should be reporting, because they haven't noticed.

Well today Jack has posted the following twitter thread. Absolutely amazing. Tears in my eyes here!

Woke up this morning and realised I couldnâ€™t procrastinate my food shop for a day longer, and decided it was time - three and a half weeks on from my accidentally viral tweet about the prices of basic foods at the supermarket - to brave it, and see what, if anything, had changed.

People can still make a difference in this world!

To their credit, I think they have committed to having their full value range in every one of their supermarkets.

Yes, Jack gives Asda full credit for the way they have responded, and especially for the speed to get this rolled out.

It will make a real difference. Some people won't go to bed hungry this week as a result of this.

Now for the other supermarkets...
