Euro 2012: Supermarket beer price rises... (1 Viewer)

Did anyone else notice a sudden rise in the price of beer at supermarkets to coincide with the start of the tournament? The cans I normally buy shot up by 20% (although still cheap compared to some). There were also a lot more cans on the shelf than usual suggesting the supermarket had anticipated a sudden rise in demand.

I exclude Morrisons from this comparison, those thieving bastards hiked their beer prices more than six months ago!

Regrettably not Stu.

(The stuff sold in England isn't real Heineken but that's a another subject).

I daredn't say what or where it was in case there's a surge in demand and they bung the price up again! Once the tournament is over they'll probably have to slash the prices to clear the excess stocks.
