Some fruit and veg have gone up i.e. a large cucumber before Christmas was 60p and it's now 65p. Pot of original houmous was ?1 and it's now ?1.35. Pack of fish which was always a fixed price has gone up 20p. Noticed lots of other bits but can't remember prices before Christmas.

This is a list of the items Sainsbury's are saying are on 'lockdown'... https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/new---trending/price-lockdown-all#langId=44&storeId=10151&catalogId=10123&categoryId=417393&parent_category_rn=355372&top_category=355372&pageSize=36&orderBy=FAVOURITES_ONLY%7CSEQUENCING%7CTOP_SELLERS&searchTerm=&beginIndex=0&hideFilters=true&facet=

What you have to bear in mind with any savings a supermarket offers, is that some other products will go up in price to counter the savings. Supermarkets aren't in the business of giving away money...

Or maybe Sainsburys have discovered that most of their cleaning products, shower gels, wipes, bleach, bathroom, kitchen cleaning products (more or less everything on the list) can be bought in the local pound shops at cheaper prices so they are now 'locked down' for however long?

If you look around, you can find deals - coffee usually has markdowns in different shops at different times.


I manage to shop in Sainsbury's relatively cheaply, but it is hard work.


Apples vary from ?1.50 for 6 to ?3 for 4.


I do shop around though and get bits from different places mostly. Sainsbury is nearest though. I have noticed that not all items are priced on the shelves which is confusing. Nuts near the jam for instance - some packs are significantly cheaper than others for the same things. None are priced though so I get the cashier to check them and then decide which I want.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
