DOING the ‘big shop’.
Some people do it weekly, maybe on a Sunday afternoon? Some do it monthly, or now thanks to the internet, you can do yourIt’s one thing we all have in common. We all need to buy food. Whether it’s at Shettleston Aldi, Asda in the Forge or online, day in and day out people grab empty baskets or virtual trollies and fill them with the essentials they need.
When I did my food shop last week, I was walking down the dairy aisle in Asda only to be confronted by £4 tubs of butter staring back at me. Nowadays when people talk about soaring food costs, their conversations usually end in some punchline or remark about the price of Lurpak. Jokes about Lurpak aside, we are in a dire situation where households are having to cut back on their food shop, or in the worst case, go without food entirely.
Before going any further, I want to clarify that today’s column is not to diminish or attack the work of farmers, and the integral role they play in the food supply chain we all rely on. Instead, the British government sits on its hands, ignoring SNP calls to tackle the ever-rising food costs that are plaguing our constituents’ purses.
But fear not, thanks to the Tories when you are doing your online food shop and choosing between a block of cheese or a carton of eggs, at least you’ll be able to know it came from a British producer, before realising you may not be able to afford either anyway., where politicians understood and empathised with the reality households face, rather than out-of-touch Westminster Tories.
