I've said it from the start, Joe Public are paying for the cost of living crisis twice... We have to struggle with our own bills going up, but also have to pay for the supermarkets and shops as well, as they've increased their prices to maintain their profits, rather than absorbing the extra costs like we have to.
youre right lee, shops are putting their prices up no matter how much things cost. petrol prices should be down but the garages are not doing it either.its a feeding frenzy and its causing misery through greed
just been to farmfoods Heinz minestrone soup 59p, Morrisons £1.69 for same , that tells you we are getting ripped off
Spot on Mac, these supermarkets are all ripping us off, im so glad you have done this Video mate 👏👏👏
Totally Agree With You 💯👍
Definitely! Most places If they didn’t increase the price they’d still make profit! Then to make it worse they increase prices a lot more than they need too!
They looked nice fish and chips LEE. But you are right a lot of places are ripping us off and blaming the cos of living crisis. 👍
I'm sick to the back teeth of places jumping on the band wagon because of "THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS", every single week when we do our shop items have jumped up in price, not just by a few pence but some 50 to 75 pence at a time. There should be a price cap it's getting totally ridiculous now, in the last 2 years our weekly bill has gone from £100 to £160 for the same food. 🤬
I use to work at the White Rose centre in Leeds, and about 6 of us use to go to Sainsburys for a breakfast once a week, it was always spot on & less than £5
I think Morrisons are quite consistent with their quality, it is what it is, not pretentious and not bad really. 8/10
My wife and I went to Tower fisheries today ,I had chicken 🐔and chips ,gravy. The wife had a black pudding dinner, both were £5.95 each,with a brew !!!! ,so £12 quid, absolutely delightful chap ,twice as dear down the road, say no more .
Its all about the money Lee. Of course all these businesses are taking thr opportunity to hike up prices. And they'll never come back down either, even if the cost of living does!
For £8.00 you can’t really complain. Looks ok to me.👍🏻
i totally agree with you not just places to eat but supermarkets too. I used to love shopping at Iceland but they keep putting prices up not even a couple of pence but 25p - 50p a time - Its cheaper to shop at Asda or Tesco's now
Totally agree with you they are the biggest culprits.
I like The Morrisons. Is there a national shortage of teaspoons? Morrisons Chester never have any either. Staff are lovely. Place is clean tidy and run efficiently...apart from lack of teaspoons. Brekky is excellent generally, and good value, and served up quickly. 9/10. Those ketchup sachets do my 'swede' in. Normally give up and launch them. You talk the virtual exact things I think and mutter to myself. Luvin' it, chortle chuckle.
Thank you for highlighting this.
I totally agree with you were being ripped off they blamed the price of fuel but fuel prices has come down but prices are still high
Lee, might be useful for you to let people know that if people go to Morrisons cafe and ‘ask for Ellen’, they receive a free portion of crumpets with butter and jam, until 13th august. Might help those who need it
Lee I totally concur, supermarkets, restaurants etc. Can't blame all the small businesses, some are struggling. The supermarket's and chains have something to answer for. Don't forget, if they still keep upping the prices we won't be able to consume 😮😮
Local Fish n Chips shops in London are charging £13 to £14 for a large cod and £11 to £12 for medium. Medium chips £4 and large nearly £6. Another thing I've noticed is supermarkets are reducing the pack size and still charge the same unit price. What a scam!!!😡
My local chippy here in cork, told me the price of fish as gone up due to the war in the Ukraine!!!!!!!
We’re definitely being ripped off - costs are increasing while portion sizes are getting smaller! My friend posted a photo of half a dozen onion rings with a bit of mayonnaise she was served up today in Cornwall, no salad either, for £9.75! I’ve pretty much stopped having a takeaway coffee as a treat, can’t justify paying a fiver for a drink, so I get good ground coffee and make my own!
to many places now give you a fish thats looks like its a child or pensioner portion. Micheal Douglas in falling down has the rite idea 😂
The lack of vinegar is 💯% down to cafe management, no excuses of blaming the staff.
But everything else there was spot on, price considered 👌
I've had fish and chip from there 4 or 5 times and it's very consistent. Amazing value .
Lee I agree with you the company's that make the stuff want there pound of flesh 8.8
Yes Lee and the large food supermarkets made a fortune during the Lock Down as it was the only place people could leave their homes for Also their prices are going up weekly not by pennies but up to 50 percent and more and strangely most of the increasing by the same margin.
That’s my rant for the day Lee and congratulations Morrison I would have given them a 10
20yrs ago my daughter worked at morrisons on the deli while she was at college. She said at the time people that weren't very hygienic were put in the cafe kitchens. It put me of morrisons cafe ever since.
I went to the pub the other day 2 mains 2 desserts bottle of wine and 2 coffee's £84 and they wonder why pubs are shutting all over the country
That's fun, Lee. For the very first time, our scores matched exactly...!!
Mister Macmaster you were on top bloody form on this one Lee..! You're spot on about what us going on in the food industry at present! Some people are milking this current plight! This looked quite good value gor money & deserves a 8 /10...will be interesting to see what vlogs are upcoming with the emphasis on value for money from a member of the public perspective..keep up this great slant on reviews 👏 😊👌
Feargal Sharkey once sang that a good heart these days is hard to find. Well now good value these days is hard to find.
Yes deffo all the big retail companies are taking the p big time as fuel/delivery prices have decreased yet food prices are increasing weekly…..basic economics tells you that’s not right….time for everybody to cut back and hurt these b’s in their profits….
And you weren’t ranting Lee, you’re a consumer like the rest of us, entitled to your opinion as you’re only saying what the rest of us are!
to address the vinegar situation as someone who works in the same job . we have had the same situation but with ketchup you see once we have ran out of certian items we are not allowed to just get some of the supermarket floor as the igredients can be different for both , and we have to follow a strict list of things we can have due to allergerns etc. so that might be the reason they had no vinegar
You get a lot of fish at Morrisons. Im gonna go to my local Morrisons today!!!
Fantastic value for money compared to other places
You know what..I always forget about supermarket cafes...might have to go my morrisons in Scarborough and try that fish and chips out
Looked great for the money and a pot of tea. Great value. 👍
We are from Mansfield Woodhouse but have lived in Brisbane Australia for the last 40 years .my wife’s face lit up when you said “Ay up me duck” .she wished you had shown more of the drive to and from Morrisons.. did that used to be the Co-op?
For the fish and chips 8/10
I agree that many restaurants are using cost of living to bump up prices far higher than is really just. I’m in particular focusing on the large chains which buy in bulk and get big discounts already off the suppliers. I’m even more frustrated when you now pay a fortune to eat out and the food is below par and leaves you walking out of the restaurant after a meal feeling ripped off and deflated.
I like the idea of you focusing more on VFM, Lee. I've been saying for a long time the supermarkets especially, are keeping prices artificially high. I do sympathise for small businesses though whose costs are probably going through the roof.
My wee mum use to put the packets in her pockets as well. Months after she passed we found salt, pepper, wet wipes.....you name in it in her bag, jackets, drawers. Made me laugh at the time and still does. She also did the throw it over your shoulder with the salt as well.
Our Sainsburys' cafe became a Starbucks years ago. Then was replaced by the smallest Argos concession in the world!
Another brilliant video keep up the fantastic content ❤
Well said. I appreciate your truth
I think your spot on with what you said at the beginning Lee.
I agree. My takeaway used to be like £15 for two of us to grab a decent meal, now it's at least £25. More reason to sack it off though to be fair but when you want something quick and don't want to cook that is why we like to choose one but it's so expensive. I understand they need to cover costs but I do feel like a lot of these businesses are definitely using COL as an excuse
Additionally, we live in a tourist town in the South West near Exeter. So unfortunately us locals end up paying tourist prices too
Yes Lee I think Sainsbury’s have closed all cafeterias in their shops. Ours near me at Crystal Peaks Sheffield closed in April 2022. It is opening as GREGGS in September 2023.
I agree, 8 too. But I also agree about the vinegar. I hate going up to other tables and asking for something. It's awkward
That looked a lot better than I thought it would Maclad
Thanks to you my tea budget has increased! Love Yorkshire Tea and won’t drink anything else nowadays
:) Yorkshire!
Its not just the price going up but its also the portion size getting smaller
Both of our Sainsbury's Cafes have closed, one has reopened as a Starbucks. One of our Morrisons cafes have also closed.
I think your followers would like to know how you’re getting on with the health scare that you had recently. It was quite shocking what you went through and we were all there with you when you were going through it but we haven’t been given an update as yet and we would really like to know how you are doing 🥰
Hi. Thank you. I'm feeling absolutely on top of the world now. I was drinking way too much and my liver was enlarged. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol now since I was in the USA. My liver has reduced in size. I'm sleeping way better. It's literally turned my life around. Shoes how poisonous alcohol really is. Even went for a run the other day with my little boy on his bike. ❤️🕶️
Some weeks they have any two main meals with a free hot drink for only £9.99 + 1200 points. Which is worth £1.20.
Good watch Lee, we were only talking about the price of Chips earlier especially when a Bag Of Tates is £8 in Lincolnshire
well Lee i am going to give it 9/10 based on what we have to pay around here.nearest Morrisins 13 miles away.
Hope Lee's health is baring up.. sending love and support.. food 9.
Lol'ing for the rolling of the peas! 😊
An 8 is about right. I still rate Morrisons cafe over the other super markets . I had a breakfast at a Tesco's soon time ago, 40 min wait for something that was not edible, I left it and walked out will never use a Tesco's cafe again.. went to Morrisons a few weeks ago for a cooked roast chicken dinner . They came over saying they had ran out so had to alter to beef . The amount on the plate looked less than it use to be pre 2019 but still very nice plate of food at a reasonable price
Another good One Lee, as always excellent review and camera work
Yes. Sainsbury’s near me has changed the cafe to a Starbucks.
Hi Lee. Maybe it's just here in North Wales, but fish and chip shops have gone much more expensive over the last two or three years. They used to be a quick economical meal, for example, say sausage, chips and gravy for about £3, same thing now would be closer to £6.
A Chinese takeaway used to be a treat for us, maybe once a month, but they have NOT upped their prices so much, maybe a portion of chips has gone from about £1 to £1.20 for instance, plus the portion size means left overs for the next day.
Probably why chippies here are quiet and Chinese takeaways always seem to be busy.
Greed, taking advantage and shooting themselves in the foot springs to mind.
Sainsbury’s cafe in Bolton totally closed down two years ago. Not replaced by anything else.
We had Fish n Chips n mushy pea’s in our local Pub last week. They give the option of garden pea’s too if you prefer. Tartare, wedge of lemon and a bottle of vinegar with a loose top on so you have to be careful. £14.50!
I have had the Fish & chips in Morrisons quit a few times. Staff has always been great, food is always ok, tables have been dirty sometimes. Found myself self cleaning tables before we sit down. As for the milk, sugar, and seasoning packets, they have always run out lol. You found the same thing we have a few times, it is share the vinegar and sauce bottle between tables. I ask why?, just like you did. These small things that are not attended too take away from a much better food experience. All the best bud, we live in hope for improvements, c'mon Morrisons, easy to sort out. 8/10
Can I say if you are ever in Chapel St Leonards please visit the Marina chippy . It was recommended to us whilst on a recent break to Skegness. Argh, another story. But can highly recommend The Marina, with curry to die for and I'm not a curry lover . Enjoy , glad to see you back. 😊
Just subbed enjoyed 2nd video 1st one was about a car 🚗 electric sorry about price fall my brother lost a fortune too anyway fish n chips looked great I wasn't expecting 2 bits I would be stuffed so yes great value thanks look forward too more videos #3rd
10 of 10 from what I could see and hope that you enjoyed.
Mm mm. We get mushy peas at stavely chesterfield. The fish are bang on . Definitely cod too . Teas morrisons own . I sometimes put another tea bag in out of one of other pots lol. 9 out of ten for me .
They are better than any I've had from our chippys .
Last time I went Morrisons I ordered fish and chips and the fish looked like it had brought half the sea with it was that watery.
I'm always Like 👍 that blue and white shirt on you Lee and your Subscribers are going up and up now , Well Done mate Xx
Asda Express Diners - From 3pm, the popular pizza deals will see a 16” Margherita go from £8 to £4 and all other flavoured pizza’s drop from £9 to £4.50. ASDA restaurant.
Totally agree shops are using the cost of living to make a few quid more same with garages
It looks delicious Lee I have never tryed Morrisons fish and chips we have a Morrisons cafe here where I live in Blackpool I will have to give a try one day have a good week Lee from Kerrie 👍🐟🍟😋
I used to work there before was morrinsons when it was co-op, now when we ran out of things I ran into co-op or farmfoods to get anything like vinegar bread hashbrowns, we had petty cash to do that xx
Wonderfull video lee
8.5 Lee, fish and chips looked nice!!
I totally agree with you ...make the rich richer
I agree alot of supermarkets are profitering. I'm always having a moan when I go shopping . Even lidl and aldi are expensive now . Heron foods ..don't get me started with them ! Raised the price of there toilet roll 18 pack from £2.95 to £5.49 . 😡😡
I buy the sauces myself then go for food... the looks i get are priceless even the staff cant believe it
Not bad, I give em a 7.79999999
I rarely eat out these days as it is just too expensive. If we have a pub meal, and a couple of drinks for the wife and I in the area we live, we have to think about taking out a mortgage. It's not just food places that are ripping us off, it's the majority of businesses, particularly the bigger ones. Just had a quote for my house insurance, they want 225% more than I paid last year, and this is from the well-known company that looks after older folk.
Looks really nice even if the chips were frozen. Like the shirt you’re wearing too, different from your usual merch tops.
Tbh, that looked nice, Morrisons is one of the better supermarket cafes
Looks nice ❤
Not right down South mate you're looking at £12 upwards with soggy batter.and flat thin small fish portion.
Just a rip off .
Cod and chips in london is £11.60. It used to be a cheap family meal when i was young. Its a rare treat now!
Our local Sainsburys closed their cafe more than a year ago. The quality had been going downhill well before Covid - wafer thin bacon etc - but it never really survived lockdown
Fish looked very good 👍🏻 . Shame about the garden peas , should have been mushy peas. Thanks for showing lee👍🏻 ( as for the vinegar what a joke) 😂
I would agree on the meal. Unfortunately, rising food costs don't equal cost of living rises in pay but I agree that we are being taken advantage of.
Looks very decent for that price. For large cod and chips at the best chippy in my home town is now £12.95. It is worth it though. The Fryery, Newtown Road. Carlisle.
The oil needs changing as the batter is a little dark . The batter we use is a vegan batter and unfortunately we now use Tetley tea value is a 9.3/10 food 8.3/10. I work for Morrisons on festival park stoke on Trent in all Morrisons cafe you can get 2 mains and 2 drinks for £10 and kids still eat free and if you come in and ask for Ellen you get 2 crumpets with butter and jam for free
Hi Lee. Well perhaps a little late to the party as far as I am concerned but great to hear your sound advice, which was backed up this morning by GB news that we ARE bing ripped off. I have personally thought this for a couple of months now as the more it became the focus of the mainstream news the more suspicious I became, so I had taken the attitude and told all who would listen to resist, vote with your feet, sacrifice where you think you ar being ripped off and just stop buying those items or going to that store.
I hope with the following you have, you can raise the profile of this passive resistance which will effect and reduce prices as the only place to hit big business is in their pocket, in fact ANY business, as they need our custom. Those of us who are of the generation that think for ourselves and are not comfortable with being controlled must set an example and demonstrate there is power in the pound in our pockets and we have choices. You do such a good job leading the resistance to the EV project, this is another as you have identified where there is an injustice and an awakening to be had. Thanks for your work. 8/10 too for the food but the price needs to be more affordable, then we buy more, then we employ more, then we get the country to start to recover; and not just financially but in that the people see they recover their power and have the power and will not be lions led by donkeys in the future.
I commented a while back that I never had Yorkshire tea since it’s not in our stores that I ever noticed.
I bought a box of 20 bags at $3.95. Didn’t like the tea at first but I love it now.
I had the Gold version. Never tried the Red version.
Which do you drink?
Have you tried the decaf? If so, how is the decaf?
I need to buy a new box fast. Only 4 teabags left.
Bought them on Amazon.
Actual, the red cost more on Amazon.
At the Sainsbury in Hinckley, the cafe has been replaced with the Restaurant Hub which sells items from Cafe Carluccio's, Harry Ramsdens and Ed's Easy Diner range. Pretty good food as well to be fair. In fact I had the Ed's burger and fries earlier today. Love your video's too mate
I blame the food delivery apps during the lockdown for the rate increase of restaurant menus. Here’s why. Historically restaurants have always competed with one another via foot traffic and the ability to get customers in the door. During the pandemic, food app delivery services were charging additional fees and restaurants were having to raise prices. Also people were going to order food from wherever, no matter what the cost, and restaurants knew this as well. So those two criteria of (lack of) competition and demand are what fuelled higher menu prices.
I also blame the Waze app for destroying my evening work commute. As people used the app, they learned lesser known side streets to avoid the freeways (in this case highway 101 in California). So what used to take me 20 minutes to drive 8 miles, was now taking 45 min to one hour.
Went to morrisons in Ebbw Vale last week. Had fish and chips which were good......one bottle of communal vinegar too 😊
Long ago I was a Test Shopper paid by Asda to check staff performance but mainly their food service especially their Fish and Chips - all true - both were always pretty good b😎
Lee, I could not agree any more about the price increases.
Yes we all know there is an inflation crisis so we should expect an in-line with inflation increase in every day things. However, I strongly believe that businesses are adding their own sheer greed tax on top of an already grim situation. The greed crisis that exists now is a greater problem than the inflation crisis in my strong opinion.
Last week at Morrison's got two Fish & Chips with mushy peas, and a pot of tea each for £10.00, as they were on a special deal
when you are free and in London, I will gladly buy you some Pie, Mash and Liquor my friend. I thought at first glimpse your water bottle was a fire extinguisher hehehe.
Me too 😅
Lee if you want a Sainsbury's who still does full English breakfast go over to Macclesfield I was in the store there 2 weeks ago and its still been done there.
Normally they are allowed to grab things like vinegar off the shop floor. Strange that.
