Sainsbury's shoppers now threatening 'boycott' over 'astronomical' price of cake

Earlier this month, Sainsbury's found itself in hot water with shoppers over the price of fish fingers. Shoppers said they were 'falling to their knees' over the £7 charge for a pack of 30 Captain Birdseye fish fingers.

Now Sainsbury's has found itself hitting the headlines again, after a shopper discovered how much Mr Kipling cakes now cost. The price for a pack of 8 cakes? £3.75.

Posting on the Scrimping on a Budget Facebook page, a shopper called Carol Bishop wrote: "I'm sure some supermarkets are over pricing branded goods, so customers choose own brands instead.
