#j5j5j5 BBC SHOPPING BASKET
sprssrssrsq February 19
The BBC shopping basket is another 9p
dearer than last week at £2O.O5 due to
dearer New Zealand lamb, frozen chicken
and tomatoes.
The seamen's dispute has led to a rise
of 4p per lb in new season New Zealand
lamb. Tomatoes from the Canaries cost
2½p per lb more on average with slight
price rises in frozen chicken, apples,
beef, cheese, fish fingers and frozen
peas.
Pork, eggs and orange juice were,
however, cheaper.
