So, what are you buying more/less of in light of the failing economy?

  • Baked bean sales have risen by 22.6% in December compared with the same month a year before
  • Sales of standard white loaves have also increase - beans on toast maybe?
  • Sales of sparkling wine have fallen by 2.3% in December
  • Champagne sales fell 10% in a month
  • Olive oil, despite being a 'luxury product' increased in sales by 6.5% last month. Is it a staple requirement now?
  • Own brand supermarket products have increased by 30%
  • Organic food sales fell by 11%
