Rejected petition Investigate and adjust unnecessary profiteering by Supermarkets with price rises
Government please intervene on recent supermarket price increases and stop the big Supermarkets unfair price upload on most of their items.
The price increase does seem random, and not calculated by any formula or substance - 50p here and 75p there.
Farmfoods have increased but still reasonable ??
More details
Do a full study of just how genuine the price rises are and how they are arrived at by the Supermarkets and maybe other stores - guess the results would be telling.
By looking in to this matter I guess the prices would (as if by magic) start to fall, and help everybody - including the Government.
Thank you.
