Shoppers cool on supermarkets
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NEARLY ONE-THIRD of shoppers said they had become less loyal to a chosen supermarket during the past 12 months, according to an annual survey conducted by Gresham Computing.
Half of the 1,000 consumers questioned said they found the weekly shop a chore - 60 per cent of those with children. Gresham said 46 per cent would like to shop for groceries over the Internet.
It estimated online retail sales in the UK at pounds 230m in 1998, and predicted they would rise to pounds 3.1bn in 2003.
