There will be a lot said about the Chancellor's report today. Will the reduction in VAT have the desired effect or will it just mean a lot of work changing prices for a short period and then putting them all back again in January 2010.
But there is an old-fashioned budget point to note:
- Ciggies and other tobacco products go up in price straight away
- Alcohol prices go up at the weekend.
So if you are planning to buy in something for Christmas it is likely to cost more next week.
Or is this the economic boost that Alistair Darling is aiming for - a quick boost in alcohol sales?
