Shoppers ask 'is this a joke?' as Asda and Morrisons hike prices in budget range

Supermarkets Asda and Morrisons have come under fire for hiking prices in their most basic ranges.

Both are well known for their budget brands - Morrisons' being Savers and Asda's its bright yellow Just Essentials - which aim to help customers get their weekly shopping at a lower cost.

But in our weekly price comparison of shopping basics, it's items in those ranges that are the only ones to increase this week across all the main supermarkets.
