Personally I started growing all my own fruit and veg on the run up to Brexit. Hopefully this will help endure some of the rising costs.
But I really feel for some people who will be struggling to feed themselves and keep themselves warm later in the year.
Needs to be subsidised more. Food and shelter are two things every human should have the right to imo
Annual? Maybe annual because now we solely shop yellow stickers, go to lidel, buy basic/value/saver brands, skip on herbs, skip side salad, no longer buy treats, eat more carbs etc – then maybe we would be lucky for a £271 rise in costs.
I’m autistic and supermarkets/cooking are a weird one of my interests. Each time I go I clock everything rising/shrinking in size dramatically beyond that – £1 min wage rise. It’s re-activated and re-shaped old eating disorder food obsession. It’s frustrating.
Depending on what type of diet you have , can see £271 as being a very conservative rise. Have already seen quite a difference.
So just £22.58 a month. Doubt it’s that low, and that’s only a “could”!
Could? More like will, at a minimum.
I’ve tried to set us a budget of £60 a week for groceries. Just try to stay under that number.
So 22.58 a month. That’s sometimes been about 25% of my food budget, during good times about 15%. Yikes. Dunno about for anyone else.
£271 over a year doesn’t aoun too bad. That amount can be mitigated quite easily by buying cheaper cuts of steak tbh.
That’s half a fucking month’s wages for me if it’s a slow month. If not? THAT’S A WEEK’S FUCKING WAGES! Granted, I do tend to shop around and should stop being lazy when it comes to lidl as I’ve developed a tendecy to just can’t be arsed to walk the extra five minutes but a week’s wages on food is a pisstake. I’m trying to be more creative(Got complancent and rarely stick to my lists) at the moment and want to cook more stuff from scratch. Got plently of recipe books.
​
But seeing a rise in food prices and the government refusing to do anything is just another middle finger. Worse, MPs can claim hundreds on a single meal. If I had hundreds to spare, i wouldn’t spent it on a single meal.
Could could could, yet every supermarket is seemingly going on a price reduction this week
Fruit / veg / cupboard staples are fairly stagnant, if anything they’re getting cheaper.

Sad state of affairs.
