Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokeswoman Wendy Chamberlain said the comments showed"the Conservatives are living in a parallel universe".
Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC, said:"The impact of rising energy prices and the conflict in Ukraine continued to feed through into April's retail prices.But the increase slowed slightly for fresh food, from 3.5% in March to 3.4% in April, which Ms Dickinson attributed to"fierce competition between supermarkets".
"Retailers will continue to do all they can to keep prices down and deliver value for their customers by limiting price rises and expanding their value ranges, but this will put pressure on them to find cost savings elsewhere.Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video playerSee how much your spending has increased over the past five years
i’m not being governed by these rich arrogant fools anymore i want change
And what if we already do this. I change tariff with Scottish power January, accepted the 50% price increase. Their first review shows I’ve they need to increase a further £140 per month. My gas usage is far lower than last year and my Elec is 300kw higher (£80) then last year
Lovely! Did politics buy cheap products? even cheap products became more expensive.
Is this guy for real?
Just showed how stupid he is, completely out of touch. Doubt he will retain his seat, so that's an upside!
Boiling kettles on backyard rubbish fires, I knew all those bear grylls and ray mears videos were political mind games to get us ready for being milked by the govt
He's right!!
😱what about when lockdown first occurred, Matt Hancock paid many thousands of pounds to feed his staff on takeouts? Made me sick then, makes me sick now. This govt are utterly disgraceful and should be made to live on the breadline for a couple of months, see how they cope.
Move over BootstrapCook - George Useless is full of solid money saving tips.
Nothing wrong with hunting down a supermarket bargain, I do it all the time, but please don’t patronise the tax paying public who are struggling when you don’t have the worries of others
Surprised he’s even heard of own brand products. Can just imagine his partner saying “George shall we get the Waitrose own caviar this week darling?” - this government doesn’t have a clue, they are not on our level and they don’t care about us either.
Drop the salaries of MP'S
Why is a man who has never been to a supermarket giving advice on how to shop
Buy 'value brands' to cope with cost of living crisis, suggests Useless Eustice - their terminal indifference exposed at every turn. It is a CRUEL jest to tell people after 12yrs of AUSTERITY & HOSTILE Environment to buy cheaper brands... 2m used Foodbanks!
Next he’ll be saying Let them eat cake.
Correct it has been proved can for 15£ 2 can eat a week from Aldi
This is hunger games and in our faces class war! Resist and demolish Tory abusers regime!
😳
Aww how sweet, an overpaid MP with subsidies telling people who have to permanently budget how to save money🙄
But the price of value products has also gone up Mr MP! Perhaps you never bother to look at those products when you go shopping!
Just remove Russian sanctions and your lives will get back to normal 😜🇷🇺
I remember when at school we had been taken to a well known supermarket as part of a work experience trip. We where informed that their own branded products where made by reputable branded companies, the only difference being was their labels being put on the items.
Yes there are lots of ways to pull your horns in, and still have that sunny holiday!
MPGeorgeEustice out of touch with reality like the rest of Conservatives
If those “ own brand” supermarket foods were clothes, you would be arrested for selling counterfeit clothes
Nobody’s ever said life was easy we have to live within our means,nothing wrong with spending smartly been doing it for years ! And what’s the point of coffee bags anyway ?
George Eustice’s comments on own brand food smacks of: “Poor people are poor because they are stupid”. He is so arrogant that he assumes people struggling to make ends meet haven’t painstakingly counted every penny and shopped around for the best value (cheap) foods. Eustice
Eating cold Asda Smartprice beans out of a tin, while doing endless circles on a bus route. The dizzy heights of living in the 5th richest economy in the world in the 21st century! Winning! 😎👍🤷🤦
Did his leader opt for cheaper wallpaper when he couldn’t afford the expensive stuff?
‘Useless’ Eustice is now despised by his constituency of Camborne-Redruth despite voting him in last time. His support has collapsed
Et he wasn’t and isn’t bothered. They all (MPs) gladly accepted a £2000 pay rise or bonus.
And for those who cannot afford even value brands, what is George Useless proposing?
Praying for the day we have a cheaper, 'own brand' UK Government.
Once again a Tory MP fails to recognise that their policies created the issues. Number10press you’re going to need a better strap line than let them eat cheaper food, many people are already doing that or perhaps you can’t see that from your ivory tower
Tories have no idea and/or don’t care about normal peoples lives. So why do normal people vote for them?

So the Tory Party's devious plan to beat the Cost of Living Crisis is to tell the tens of millions who ALREADY BUY own-brand supermarket products to buy own-brand supermarket products.. Coming Tomorrow Boris Johnson joins Jamie Oliver in the kitchen to cook roadkill badgers..
The Conservatives are completely out of touch with normal people
So the advice from our caring government over the last couple of days is, eat cheap crap to survive and ride on a bus to keep warm.
I’m sure he, and his colleagues, will be doing just that! 🙄
…. another useless Kipper…. got Brexit done innit….got the U.K. done instead.
Makes sense - when money is tight, source cheaper products? The only people taking issue with this are those who expect the state pay for absolutely everything. 🤷🏽♂️
He does talk some utter crap. Business as usual today. Sigh.......
Own goal.
This man lives in another universe 😕
Here we have a pair of wealthy deluded prats talking to one another about the cost of living, both of whom couldn't care less for the plight of struggling Britons. Why is anyone surprised about the vacuous nature of British Politics and the MSM.
Genius! Wonder why we didn’t think of that? 😡
GET THEM OUT 🇬🇧👊
It's like...
wow. because literally no one thought of that
