Comment on Why supermarket prices really became sky high in the UK

Ok ok I’ll accept all this “explanation” but what I’d also like to know is when fruit like apples - grown in the UK - have shrunk in size, increased by something like 100%+ and begin to rot as soon as you get them home. You could (just about) put up with massive hikes in prices because of “explanation” but prices plus increasingly worse quality of food is beyond unacceptable. We’re being ripped off here in the UK.

Probably been sat in storage too long. Apples are sold all year round but they are only harvested once per year. And don’t think that in season you’ll be getting fresh ones, they’ll be straight into storage while you eat the year old stock.
