Inflation has picked up in the UK, and prices of various food and household items have continued to rise. Recently, a netizen uploaded a photo showing that a 1kg pack of butter from a popular brand in the local area has been priced at £9.35 (about HK$88.5). She lamented the high price of butter, and said that if people were only paid the minimum wage, people would not be able to afford it. It takes an hour’s salary to buy a brick of butter, and he bluntly said, “This country is ridiculous.” Some netizens suggested that in the predicament of high prices, they can consider buying other styles of butter.
The British “BBC” reported that the price of the brand’s 750 grams of butter has been increased to 7.25 pounds (about 68 Hong Kong dollars) in the supermarket chain Sainsbury’s, and the supermarket chain group Asda will add anti-theft labels to the butter to prevent it from being stolen. .
In response to the inquiry, the producer of this brand of butter admitted that the product had recently increased the price of the product, saying that the company understood that many local households have been hit by inflation recently, but the prices of fuel and feed required for milk production have risen significantly, causing its farmers to face the similar difficulty. The spokesperson emphasized that although the company does not directly control the retail price of products, it will still cooperate with different retailers to ensure that its farmers can receive a fair income.
