Couldn't help notice today that the price of a packet of biscuits in Tesco today had gone up overnight from 50p to 73p. Which, doing the 'math', is a Zimbabwe sized rise of 46%.
I couldn't help but wonder, are these sudden and extreem price rises a real reflection of the rise in 'input' costs or, are many companies using the price hike hysteria as a gravy train to boost their profits? All abord the rip-off express?
