£1.74 for 4 pints of milk but think nothing of 2.50 for a pint of beer (if lucky)

Or the same for 250ml of red bull.

Not shocked but a bit concerned. We've had to increase our food budget by around £50 a month. That's our limit but we're lucky a lot of people don't have that leeway

They get next to nothing, it's the markets that get the wonga. Also I don't really drink often so I don't think about the price of alcohol at all.

People just need to shop around, lets take diesel for an example.... today, at Morrisons, diesel was £1.72 a litre, at the Sainsburys less than 1000 yards away it was £1.61, made me wonder why Sainsbury forecourt had hardly anyone on it, but Morrisons had a small queue because there was 5p a litre off for spending £50 in store which still made it 6p a litre more at morrisons.... the mind boggles

To clarify milk costs around, 40p a litre to produce from the cow and the farmer get paid between 46 and 49p when it leaves the farm, so when you are paying £1.75 for 2 litres the supermarket are making 100% profit on every litre sold.
