Supermarket giant Tesco has been heavily criticised for the 'extortionate' price of a bestselling condiment, with one shopper branding it 'tomatogeddon'.
Ketchup is the latest cupboard essential to be hit by the climbing prices, with a bottle of Heinz tomato ketchup on sale for a whopping £4.40 in some Tesco stores, The Mirror reports. It is the latest in a series of eye-watering supermarket price hikes to spark anger among customers in recent months as customers face an ever tighter squeeze on their purses.
Earlier this year, it was reported Heinz had doubled the price of some products in just a year as the cost of living crisis continues to hit shoppers. As part of the changes, the nation's favourite tomato ketchup - the 910g bottle - rose in price by 60% from £2.49 to £3.99, according to The Grocer.
