I VISITED Tesco, in Durham, last week to purchase a popular brand of soft cheese and could not believe my eyes.

The said product was on special offer but there was a 5p difference between the light one to the normal one.

Yet again, the public are penalised by the big supermarkets for trying to eat healthily.

It is time customers stood up against big names doing this with the prices. We are told time and time again to eat healthily, but this policy is definitely not healthy for our purses.
