Food sales fall in the Land of Debt

Telegrath: Food sales fall for first time since 1986

The Office for Nobbled Statistics reveals that food sales have effectively dropped over the summer with M&S meat sales down 28%. Analysts expect High Street retailers to be hit hard as hard pressed consumers increasingly shop online, whilst serious bargain hunters are turning to 2nd hand goods with internet searches for such items up 22 percent.

Spend 50% less for 100x better food with farmers markets, google, london farmer's markets, or sign up for a veg box at somewhere like riverford.co.uk , or, ideally, a local box scheme. Buy small farmer British, buy for victory, save wallet and health!

I get organic, unpasteurised, unhomogenised buffalo milk from the Islington or Notting Hill farmers market! Or similar cow milk for half that price, but, buffalo rocks, big time! Thanks for the link! Shop for victory, avoid corporate whores!
