British supermarkets have upped the prices of nearly 10,000 products in the weekly directly after Christmas, new analysis has revealed.
Price rises after the festive period are not “uncommon” as supermarket chains have usually spent several weeks trying to keep prices steady in the lead-up to Christmas.
However, this year’s increase, noted by the retail data firm Assosia for The Grocer, was seen as being “unusually“ large.
