Three of the bigger UK supermarkets have reduced the cost of petrol, as a means of trying to help consumers who may be struggling with increased fuel costs, surging inflation and the credit crunch.

Asda said yesterday that it would cut prices at the pump by as much as three pence per litre. It said the move had been made possible by recent falls in global oil prices. As such, the group expressed its commitment to passing on these savings to consumers. So too, diesel prices will also be lowered as part of the move, which will affect all of the supermarket’s 170 petrol stations across the country.

People are losing faith in the assumptions they’ve made about the nature of working life. They’re fed up of wasting their lives and getting nothing sustainable in return. They’re becoming reluctant to sell their soul to a system which can no longer be trusted. They’re looking for something new to put their faith in – new ways of doing things.

Advice for Shopping on a Budget in the Credit Crunch

With words like ‘Credit Crunch’ and ‘Recession’ being talked about in homes across the UK it’s hard to forget that the offshoot of a global recession has implications for individual households. Interest rates are down, salaries are capped and in general there’s a need to budget about what we can spend our available money on. It’s all about saving, value and getting by on your money as best you can.

First to go are the luxuries  – holidays, new cars, beauty treatments – even meals out. These once regular treats are being replaced with cost savings and ‘make do at home’ budgets instead.
