    It’s just inflation. Corporate greed is a poor excuse for price increases

      It’s actually just corporate greed. The “inflation” is the excuse.

      Ok thanks.

      I don’t think corporate greed is a poor excuse though.

      All prices in the UK have gone up by substantial amounts over the last 5 years. While at the same time these massive corporations have recorded record profits.

      If the price increases were purely inflation then it would stand to reason that profits wouldn’t have gone up so much. Clearly they’ve used inflation as an excuse to squeeze consumers as much as possible.

      I am talking generally here and not specifically about eggs.
