Like most people, I don't want to pay more than I have to anything, and I'm always looking for a Supermarket bargain, but bizarrely it does worry me when I hear about Supermarkets slashing prices.
Yes, we're in a "credit crunch", and people are worried and understandably tightening their belts, but my concern is for the UK farmers and producers.
For years now we've heard about how tough it is to survive as a local producer, and how they're being squeezed on prices, and with the credit crunch biting, what I can see happening is that Supermarkets will drive down prices, local producers will naturally be asked to reduce their costs, and a load more local producers will have to close down and we'll end up having to import cheap produce. Neither good for the environment, our farming community or our heritage.
