Supermarkets are killing our growers

[emmy1978]

I don't find it much more expensive to shop the way I do. The difference is I think that I know how to cook. Knowing how to make a soup or a sauce has saved our butts so many times when we've been skint. Veg costs pennies really, it's the sweets and treats and readies that cost the dosh. It's not supermarkets per se that I have a problem with and cannot say i never use them, but I have realised that a lot of it is false economy and it's the shocking ignoring of local producers and growers. This would also not be so bad if you knew the growers abroad were getting a fair price for their crops. The only winners are tesco et al as they are the ones who announce huge profits year on year.
