Price Hikes

Everything is getting more and more expensive. Staples such as bread, butter and milk and fuel prices to name a few. My grocery bill is increasing from month to month. Due to this credit crunch, many people are steering away from luxurious brands such as Marks and Spencer (sales dipping) and switching to discounters like Aldi and Lidl. I miss shopping at Tesco which does good offers but there's only a teeny weeny one in my town which doesn't stock many things. Now, I shop mostly at Morrisons but this supermarket chain does not have a loyalty scheme. You win some, you lose some. Now guess what? The price for the weekend kids films at Vue has risen from £1.50 to £1.74! Though it doesn't look much, it's still extra cost. Yah, I know.....stay away from the cinema and go to the park (free!) instead. But who wants to stay outdoors when it's so cold?!

When I was reading the first few sentences, I thought you were doing some kind of advertorial.

Anyway, only a small Tesco?? What a bummer. I love Tesco (more of its rewards scheme) - well, but is the price in Morrisons cheaper than Tesco (should be at least 1% cheaper because of the 1point/£1 spent)??

Hmmm, try Tesco delivery, perhaps? You pay a small fee for delivery but you can still collect points that way. I can't belong to any rewards scheme because I am way too disloyal!
