Taking the super out of supermarket
Products are disappearing off the shelves as our supermarkets narrow the range of goods on offer. A food market duopoly has an obligation to offer us a range of manufacturers' goods, not just their own, sometimes inferior, products. Like Pams ice cream cones, so poorly made they crack when you add ice cream and you need to double up on the cones to use them. Great value, not. Crisp, fresh and strong cones are available at Bin Inn and Moore Wilsons for a similar price to the supermarket junk product.
