Default Up UP AND AWAY....

Having worked with the likes of ASDA and Tesco in the Uk and understanding their margins I have been shocked by profit margins supermarkets and wholesalers are making....

Now having run our busy cafe for the past year we have seen all food prices rise dramaticly.
We used to buy butter for $1.20 now its $3.59 from Countdown the cheapest...
Milk, milk cheese and yoghurts have shot up into double figures with more rises planned as there appears not control from central...

But, even flour and frozen goods and most other prices have shot up...
Sorry, but these are facts that are just hitting the consumers....

Food is expensive here and produce such as meat and poultry not the best quality!
