>> you are right th there's been a bump with the grocers taking on the discounters like aldi.cado shoppers are more insulated from the cost of living headwinds we have seen that with the results across the business as a whole especially with the joint venture selling groceries through its platform it seems this section of the market is more resilient this is a reason for that. look at the uk as a whole. 37% of homes are owned outright. so those people who many are core customers of marks & spencers is not so effective by higher borrowing costs because they don't have to pay a mortgage because that takes a big supplies from the household budget that is the reason why ocado's customers are proving more resilient. they are still price conscious like across the board with prices going up pretty much everywhere they are not immune to the cost of living crisis if the price is right and it certainly seems ocado is getting the prices at the level the shoppers want, it can reap rewards. >> we had that dramatic fall post-pandemic last year. we are making some ground back in the course o

so what you've seen is that the, the supermarkets that have done best are the low cost ones like aldiity is that the consumers are doing something different. so overall, what seeing so overall, what you're seeing is inflation is is that food price inflation is slowing down quite significantly as well . as well. >> okay. so vicky truss genomics, one year on. liz truss has been surfacing around again and in fact the labour party is saying that she's been kind of moving rishi's lips on the net zero ban on petrol cars . what do zero ban on petrol cars. what do you think the legacy of trussonomics will be? she would say that she was on the right track and was lambasted too heavily for it. what's your take on trussonomics one year on? it's not just that she would say she did that . she did say that. >> she said earlier this >> she said that earlier this week a speech that she week on in a speech that she made on monday. week on in a speech that she made on monday . and was made on monday. and she was questioned heavily all questioned very heavily by all the who there, the journalists who we

and one one of my favourite one of the one of my favourite supermarkets lidl, supermarkets is aldi and get broccoli and vegetables and carrots for less than £0.50 so think it's about than £0.50 so i think it's about education and that's one of the great things about the a to z great things about the a to 2 campaign that it teaches parents how best to prepare the food, especially when they're little, because as soon as they turn six months old, it a little months old, it can be a little bit ovennhelming . so that's why bit ovennhelming. so that's why i'm proud be backing i'm really proud to be backing this initiative. >> part of the problem >> and part of the problem surely, is that kids don't aren't learning to i aren't learning how to cook. i mean, my was a home mean, my mum was a home economics teacher. learned economics teacher. i learned to cook school. mum said to cook at school. my mum said to me i 14, that's it. i'm me when i was 14, that's it. i'm not feeding you anymore. take care of yourself. and since then i've that and my kids are i've done that and my kids are learning coo

the likes of aldi, lidl, the discounters, they've taken a lot more market share than they've before .ople have learned to budget a bit but when budget a bit better. but when you to watch the pennies you do have to watch the pennies in ends meet, in to order make ends meet, people like to just those people like to just have those little time to time little treats from time to time , don't they? and there are signs are signs now that people are starting replace those big starting to replace those big consumer goods curries that car sales are starting to tick up. we've talked about that just a couple of weeks ago that there is a sense now that if interest rates have peaked, people who have been hammered with mortgage increases as maybe that hammering is over and prices aren't coming down, prices are still going up, but they're going up at half the rate that they were six months ago. so we must our blessings. must count our blessings. >> good news, liam halligan. what a great way to end the week. >> cheers. it's not always just a label, though, with these brands. i love a certain brands.
