Why is the Co-op so expensive?
Discussion
Every few weeks at our local co-op the prices go up. If you buy a lot of items each week the prices soon add up for example Individual steak kidney pie gone from £1.49 to £1.75. You can get a hot cooked pie in most bakers cheaper than that!
Individual steak pies are only £1.30 at M&S!
But why are they so damned expensive? I know they pride themselves on so called “Ethical” responsible buying of products. But isn’t the Co-op also supposed to be a ‘working class’ kind of thing? With the prices they charge only the bloody rich can afford to do a weekly shop in the Co-op!
The Co-op is the only supermarket where they charge you to buy a loyalty card, £1 when other supermarkets are free!
If the Co-op is so ETHICAL then why don’t they get ETHICAL with the poor British people on low incomes, the single mothers and fathers, the elderly or disabled, people living in isolated communities without their own transport who are forced to pay extortionate premium prices because the Co-op is the only shop there and they have no damned choice.
