Re: The Recession Busting Thread
1kg cornflakes are about a fiver and an adult pass for the zoo is about €15. They don't check that you've eaten all the cornflakes before they let you in.domhnallj wrote:That's a lot of cornflakes.Peg Leg wrote:Free entry for one adult to Dublin zoo on the side of every 1kg kellogs cornflakes

Both supermarkets have stated that they're taking the hit on price, not their suppliers.

Yep because agressive below cost selling by large multi national retailers never involves pressure on local suppliers or local independent retailers....honeyec wrote:Ructions about it on Joe Duffy (where else?) I believe.IanD wrote:Whatever Lidl do Aldi go one better. Fruit and veg at 8 cents.

Great and all as these deals are they actually can do huge harm to an economy in the long run if not kept in check as competitors run the risk of being irreprably damaged e.g. Aldi/Lidl move into a town/village and very shortly you see the smaller shops, sometimes family run, see their business destroyed all of a sudden suppliers especially smaller producers have a lack of options in terms of who they can sell too and it becomes a vicious circle.
Re: The Recession Busting Thread
Dem's de breaks of an open market. I actually agree with you that a race to the bottom is not necessarily what we want to see in any market. But "food poverty" is a massive item in the news at the moment so I think you'll find it very hard to argue convincingly that making fresh food more affordable is a bad thing in the current climate.TerenureJim wrote:Great and all as these deals are they actually can do huge harm to an economy in the long run if not kept in check as competitors run the risk of being irreprably damaged e.g. Aldi/Lidl move into a town/village and very shortly you see the smaller shops, sometimes family run, see their business destroyed all of a sudden suppliers especially smaller producers have a lack of options in terms of who they can sell too and it becomes a vicious circle.
