Supermarket accused of 'laughing at customers' makes further price hikes

A supermarket accused of 'taking the mick' out of customers with price rises has hiked the cost of basics once again. We reported last week how shoppers said that Morrisons is 'laughing at customers' with regular increases.
The hikes have been highlighted in our weekly comparison of basics like milk and bread, which has been keeping track of the costs of the same eight products at the six main supermarkets - Tesco, Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Morrisons.

It takes the overall bill for the eight items - a two-pint bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, coffee, teabags, butter, beans, chicken breasts and mince - to £12, the highest it's been since we began looking at the prices at the end of March, when Morrisons' total came to £9.69 and the lowest was Aldi at £9.13.
Morrisons is the only supermarket where the cost has increased this week. The only other change has been at Tesco, where a reduction in the price of its mince to £1.69, as part of its Aldi price match, means it
