Here's a one to get the juices flowing.......

What are your thoughts on suppliers selling pre 2009 stock (bought before the 2009 increases) at the new, much increased 2009 prices?

Are such suppliers simply cashing in on the upturn in prices, or is it quite reasonable to expect consumers to pay todays prices for goods bought today, irrespective of what they were cost the supplier in the first place?

A hypothetical example - A supplier selling old stock at below current market price runs the risk of compromising his new stock prices; on the other hand, if the stock is a few years old and now obsolete is it reasonable for him to sell the product at a new imaginary 2009 price?

I'm not advocating either decision by raising this point, but I'm sure many consumers and suppliers may share different views on it.

Did anyone see 'supermarket' barrages being fired this year?

It's a bit of a long shot, but I would appreciate feedback on performance/effect details of any barrages stocked by the multiples. (Don't be shy - it's not a hanging offence to own up to buying the odd cake from the local Co-op).

thanks
