Woolworths is a big shop in Australia. They made a promise. They said prices would stay the same. They called it a Price Freeze. The freeze was for 300 food items. This was for three months. The shop started this on May 1st.
Woolworths faces scrutiny over price freeze claims
Easy
But the shop did not keep the promise. The price of chicken went up. It went up by 33 percent. The price of beans also went up. A can of beans cost 60 cents before. It went up to one dollar. This happened in June. Then in August, the bean price dropped back. It went back to 60 cents.
A shop expert talked about this. The expert said the promise was not fair. People thought prices would not change. But prices did change. People felt confused.
