I think that is a good point
seems that coles is winning three ways ( of course one can always buy coles shares to be less affected)
1. the buying power means that a season's work can be forfeited for the sake of a brown leaf on a lettuce as yopur truck is turned away
2.more outlets but fewer and fewer choices of retailer means a 87c 250 gm pack of butter ranges is mor often than not 1.47
3. the home brand while convenient in the short term for price-conscious consumers is based on a parasitic ride on the back of brandnames who through advertising and market development are now raped, the upshot of this will eventually be to the detriment of choice and the end of the market economy

thought for food
