One in 3 still not shopping around for best deal

IN an era of falling wages and rising taxes you would imagine consumers would be fighting for every euro — but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

A recent survey has found that close to one in three consumers said that they rarely or never shop around for better prices.

When you consider that the price of groceries has jumped more than 5% recently and there are six big operators in the grocery market, it’s a wonder that people don’t look for more value.
