Aldi has ridiculed a shop charging £5.39 for McVities Digestives.
A viral post on Twitter showed a packet of milk chocolate biscuits with a rather steep price tag. Households have been hit by food inflation of more than 19% because the grocery sector has faced supply chain disruption and higher commodity prices - and the impact of Russia's war on Ukraine on many staples.
Following the post about the biscuits on Twitter, people in the UK shared their outrage at the high prices. One said: "Say it out loud….unreal", while another added: "That's insane".
