I went to my local Sainsburys store today with the intention of buying a couple of packets of Lancashire Eccles cakes. I now find that they have been replaced by the supermarket’s own make, which, although they look the same and have similar packaging, are 10p dearer and no doubt do not taste as good as the originals. I didn’t buy them, anyway.
Why do these companies try to squeeze more money from us, and at the same time degrade the quality of our food?
