Wanted - Veggie users in protest mode !!

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

Are you as hacked off as I am with the mega price rises in Veg ?

Does a 33% rise get your goat ?

If so please join me in grissling to the Office of Fair Trading and put some heat on the supermarket chains

Here's my email with the email address you need:

Subject: Possible case of Profiteering and Cartel practices


Dear sirs,

In this time of higher green awareness can I point you in the direction of Vegetable Oil sold by the big supermarkets - ie Tesco and Sainsburys who match their practices.

I, like many others, run my vehicle on Vegetable Oil as it is greener than diesel, being based on Oil Seed Rape it also supports our farmers without causing issues in tropical countries.

Last week when I collected my standing order from my local Sainsburys I noticed that they had matched their prices to Tescos and raised the cost for a 3 litre bottle from £2.21 to £2.98 which is a 33% rise.

A rise of this much is far from being a fair price rise, and both supermarket chains appear to raise the price in unfairly big chunks every few months.

I would welcome your views on this.

Regards

So come on and bombard them with moans and let's see if we can make a difference !!!!

It's more than a 33% rise. Since the new allowances came into place, the price of some bulk quantities has risen nearly 100%. There is also often the case of the larger bottles costing more per litre than the smaller ones. That's blatant profiteering.

I don't use it either but I'm always up for a battle so send it too
