In a week in which the competition watchdog fired a broadside at the consumer brands giants for pushing up prices, a practice dubbed ‘greedflation’ and sounded a warning to Tesco and Sainsbury’s over Clubcard and Nectar Prices, the This is Money podcast team head down the shops.

Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss what’s good, what’s bad and what really gets their goat.
