But pricey recipe kits and premium toilet paper are relatively easy ways for pinched consumers to save money. Before the results, all three companies were priced at a premium to the STOXX Europe 600 Index

using 12-month forward price to earnings multiples, suggesting possible shareholder complacency. After Thursday’s bruising falls, investors are unlikely to get caught napping again.
