Fruit and veg has surged in price, according to a “worried” greengrocer who works in Leeds Kirkgate Market.
They make videos on Facebook promoting deals they have on mornings, “there’s bargains to be had, you go to the supermarket and it’s a fortune.” These serve as a crumb of hope to his struggling regular customers, who according to Shaun spend all day in the warm parts of the market as they “daren’t put their heating on”.Shaun has said the price of cauliflower has quadrupled, and sprouts, oranges and satsumas have also gone up. He had a few theories as to why.
“It’s worrying, we don’t earn a lot and we sell stuff cheap. We’re not ruddy millionaires! We’ve still got to pay our bills. Gas, diesel. So many people are going on strike because they want more money. Well, I’d like more money – but where is it supposed to come from?”
