			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cheese prices have doubled as supermarkets ramp up shopping bills in a new blow to hard-pressed families, reports Stephen Hayward from the Mirror.</p>
<div id="article-body">
<p>Reports suggest shoppers are paying £6 a week more for groceries after food prices soared 7 per cent in a month &#8211; just as millions are hit by record winter fuel bills. Cathedral City mature cheddar has jumped from £1.94 to £3.88 for 400g while Philadelphia has gone up from 91p to £1.82 for 300g. Prices of breakfast cereals have also rocketed &#8211; up by a quarter &#8211; and tinned tomato soup is up 11 per cent.</p>
<p>The findings come from mySupermarket.co.uk, which tracks Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury&#8217;s and online retailer Ocado. It found the cost of a typical basket of 52 items had risen from £86.63 to £92.64. The increase, the biggest since the peak of the recession in 2008, is double inflation, which is now 3.5 per cent, and comes at a time when many are struggling with redundancy or pay freezes.</p>
<p>One reason for the price hikes is the end of the Christmas and New Year supermarket price war.</p>
<p>MySupermarket&#8217;s Jonny Steel said: &#8220;January was an extremely competitive month for supermarkets, with special offers at an all-time high.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dairy products have been particularly affected because of jumps in the cost of ingredients.</p>
<p>The stores also staggered VAT rises on items such as alcohol and biscuits so they did not hit customers too hard at the start of January.</p>

<p>Nearly half of ASDA&#8217;s customers have started buying Christmas presents in September, to help spread the cost of Christmas.   ASDA believes a third of shoppers are planning to spend less than last year, as it adds a dedicated Christmas gift shop.</p>
<p><a href="http://asdastore.at/Minetta?LID=21&amp;DURL=http://www.asda.co.uk/corp/home.html"><img class="alignleft" title=" Asda Direct launches online Christmas gift shop" src="http://www.internetretailing.net/news/asda-direct-launches-online-christmas-gift-shop/image_mini" alt=" Asda Direct launches online Christmas gift shop" width="102" height="102" /></a></p>
<p>InternetRetailing.net says &#8220;The impact of the credit crunch is still hitting consumers according to a new survey from Asda which has found that almost half the grocer&#8217;s shoppers are already buying Christmas gifts. Of those, 75% say that it&#8217;s to lighten the financial burden of Christmas and spread the festive costs.&#8221;</p>
<p>A third of shoppers are also planning to spend considerably less than last year, with 80% of those hoping to spend up to £250 less this year. &#8220;The average spend on just Christmas presents in 2008 was £320 per person,&#8221; says Asda, &#8220;meaning consumers are planning to make considerable cut backs this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response, Asda has launched <a id="b7zv" title="a dedicated, online Christmas Shop" href="http://asdastore.at/Minetta?LID=21&amp;DURL=http://direct.asda.com/Christmas/110,default,sc.html">a dedicated online Christmas Shop</a> that includes gift ideas and rolled back prices on Christmas items such as port and cognac.</p>
<p><a href="http://asdastore.at/Minetta?LID=21&amp;DURL=http://www.asda.co.uk/corp/home.html"></a></p>
<p>&#8220;With only three more pay days until Christmas, many of our customers have started their festive shopping earlier than ever in a bid to spread the costs this year,&#8221; says Asda&#8217;s Jennifer England. &#8220;People might think we&#8217;re crazy for selling gifts already, but our customers are telling us it&#8217;s what they want so we&#8217;re doing all we can to help them.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;By spreading the cost of Christmas and buying gifts early, our customers are making sure that they can have a Christmas to remember whilst avoiding any last minute credit card splurges that will leave them paying off the bill well into 2010,&#8221; she added.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>30 September, 2009, InternetRetailing.net:</p>
<p>&#8220;New research shows that, while 11% of consumers regularly buy groceries online, 83% like to be able to see and touch fresh produce before making a purchase and 66% say they prefer not to buy fresh food over the web as they are concerned about use-by dates.</p>
<p>These findings will, to some extent, reach beyond groceries. How many men don&#8217;t shop for clothes on the web because they&#8217;re not sure about fit? And would you buy jewellery or a painting or a potted plant sight unseen? It&#8217;s clear there&#8217;s a lot more business to be had if we just keep working to calm consumers&#8217; fears with new technologies, innovative ways of putting products into their hands, and ever-friendlier returns policies.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>22 September, 2009</p>
<p><a href="http://www.igd.com/analysis/channel/news_hub.asp?channelid=1&amp;channelitemid=3&amp;nidp=&amp;nid=6161">IGD Retail Analysis</a> reports:</p>
<p>Market share data for the UK Grocery market from TNS has shown a slight slow-down over the past month, with the market growing by 5.2% in the 12 weeks to 6 September 2009.  According to the market research agency, &#8220;recession panic&#8221; is beginning to leave the mindset of both consumer and retailer alike, with Waitrose proving to be the key beneficiary &#8211; growing by 11.2% compared with the previous year, aided by the performance of its &#8216;essentials&#8217; range, and the acquisition of a number of Co-operative/Somerfield sites.</p>
<p>Ed Garner, Director at TNS Worlpanel, signalled a cautionary note &#8211; despite the solid performance from the grocery industry: &#8220;This is not to imply that all sectors of the High Street will instantly return to pre-recession growth. Rather that food remains a manageable proportion of most household budgets bys historical standards.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is worth noting that there is challenge to the sector coming from the falling grocery inflation rate &#8211; this will restrict value growth for the industry going forward.&#8221;</p>

<p>Founded in 1869 Sainsbury&#8217;s is now the 3rd largest supermarket in the UK (according to the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7180397.stm">Taylor Nelson Sofres</a> rankings published in January 2008),  with a market share of 16.4% compared to Tesco&#8217;s 31.5%, ASDA&#8217;s 16.7% and Morrison&#8217;s 11.4%.</p>
<p>With an emphasis on a higher quality grocery offering compared to its other large rivals, Sainsbury&#8217;s currently operates 785 hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores.  It also operates Sainsbury’s Bank, which sells financial services, and is a joint venture with HBOS; Sainsbury&#8217;s Online internet shopping services; and has a property portfolio worth £8.6 billion (as of March 2007).</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainsbury%27s">CACI</a>, as of 2006, Sainsbury&#8217;s has market dominance in 8 postcode areas; TQ (Torquay), SN (Swindon), GU (Guildford), RH (Redhill), DA (Dartford), SE (South East London), EN (Enfield) and WV (Wolverhampton).<br />
It is particularly strong in London and the South-East, where it is based, and although it has a national store portfolio, it is biased towards the South-East.</p>
<p>Sainsbury&#8217;s operates an internet shopping service branded as &#8220;Sainsbury&#8217;s Online&#8221;. To use this service customers choose their grocery items online. Pickers then collect the required items which are delivered to customers from a local store by van. This is available to about 75% of the UK population. The service is run from larger stores which carry the full product range &#8211; over 100 stores operate an Online service.</p>
<p>It was previously called &#8216;Sainsbury&#8217;s to You&#8217; and &#8216;Sainsbury&#8217;s entertain You&#8217;, and prior to that it was called &#8216;Sainsbury&#8217;s Orderline&#8217;.</p>
<p>Sainsbury’s staff will now deliver your groceries to your door, however prior to September 2007, and as was common with other UK supermarkets with an online shopping and delivery service such as Tesco or Ocado, Sainsbury&#8217;s Online delivery staff would carry items direct to customers&#8217; kitchens.</p>
