This one has gone over my head. What’s wrong with Olive Oil these days?
Haven’t had to buy olive oil in donkey’s years.
Mind you, having a father in law who has his own private olive grove helps. There’s nothing quite like organic, cold-pressed, single-producer olive oil.
Smug? Me?
Yup.
It’s interesting how the prices goes up with costs, but when the costs come down there’s radio silence.
Shoutout to all the first pressing heads out there
Should be cooking with tallow. Olive oil is best for salads.
The crop still hasn’t been great this year for olives. It was really bad last year, which made olive oil really expensive, and although the price is a bit cheaper this year, it’s still really expensive. You’re better off with rapeseed oil.
Organic meat and quality beef steaks. Prices are silly. I’d rather buy a whole large duck for the same price as a single Sainsbury’s matured sirloin steak. I bought a massive badboy for £7 with Nectar, made a large pot 10 portions of soup from the carcas, wings, neck, then breasts were enough for a generous portion per 4 portions of stir fry noodles, then made legs for 2 a roast dinner for Sunday.
Coffee beans. I remember not too long ago you can buy a 1kg bag for £10. Now it’s about £18 for most brands.
I buy British made rapeseed oil. Half the cost and just as nice a flavour.
Luckily I saw a newspaper article about Olive Oil and going up and went and purchased loads from Costco, still got a few bottles left.
Lurpak butter scares me.
Stamps. Posted an ordinary letter abroad recently? Prepare for a shock.
As an Italian living in the UK I definitely feel the pain.
Bones for my dog, appreciate this one is kind of my fault but the ones my dog likes are £2.50 each, and it’s fancy stuff like Lamb+Rosemary or Duck+Fennel, pretty sure I’ve never eaten duck or fennel…
Lego too, I’m hoping people start stealing that more so I can get it cheap off Vinted.
Was in a supermarket a few months ago and they were selling 1L bottles of Fillipo Berio for £4.60.
I bought 4 extra virgin and 4 classico and that should see me out for the year. I regret not buying more lol
Only reason I see this being an issue is the price, got may favourite brand “flavour” then it’s a matter of getting the size with best value of mm etc based on offers, what am I missing?
We were always too poor, even in the 90s, to have olive oil so I assume anyone who has it is an out of touch rich bastard who will be the first to go when I launch my ideologically flawed and very violent revolution.
I find it insane people cook with olive oil…
Soy sauce.
The cheap stuff is not worth touching, and the good stuff is liquid gold.
How much does it cost today 😭
Dont mind me a lowly peon just taking the cheapest available rapeseed oil.
Fucking anything 💸💸
Just bought a litre on sale for £7.05…
I don’t buy them any more, but feel sad about it: chocolate brazils in Holland & Barret. I used to treat myself to a bag if I happened to be near one (only a few times a year). Was in town recently, took a look, and . . . £5.99 for a small bag. I think there’s been inflation and some sort of brazil nut shortage.
Olive aisle was right there
Everything!
Heroin
£7 a bottle. And that’s in Aldi!
Coffee
Grrrrr, damn those big olive producers!!!!!!!!!
Only a few of years ago, olive oil was £3 per litre in tescos. It got to £7 per litre due to adverse weather. Because the last 2 years the weather was perfect in olive growing countries, the olive oil price has now dropped. It’s £6.50 now a litre….
I got a litre of posh extra virgin olive oil for….£8
Yeah, it’s got wildly expensive of late – I read it was something to do with the weather conditions or something having an effect on the yield and that’s pushed prices up.
Fortunately I only really buy Olive Oil as kind of a finishing oil so I don’t really use too much, but it still pains me
A house with land.
I dread shops in general. 4 items and down about £30. It’s madness
How did you get your bank manager to sign off on that
