Yeah the 9% or whatever they’re telling us in the news feels like bullshit to me.
This is true for so much of my shop but I’m going to take this [Tesco Morello Cherry Bakewell Tart](https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/299475089) I swear to fucking god that was £2 all over lockdown, it’s gone to £2.40. That’s a 20% price rise. I’ve noticed it for loads of stuff.
The thing is I’m sort of doubting myself because it’s so many items to remember the exact previous prices of, but almost everything has gone up quite a fair bit.
Also other things are happening, like the Old El Paso kits are now damm near garbage in quality, the tortillas are tiny, I wish I had one from a year ago to measure the size of the tortilla. Also the enchilada sauce mix is far wateryer. So price hasn’t gone up there but quantity and quality has gone down with Old El Paso.
And for anyone saying “I don’t buy the Old El Paso Echalada Kit I make it myself” please put which brand of tortillas you get, or if you make your own which corn flour and the tortilla recipie. Also please put your spice rub recipe and your spicy tomato sauce recipe. So people who make their own and don’t buy the kits we need two or three recipes off you please, and ones that actually taste good.
Edit – Please stop giving me your enchilada sauce recipes actually. They all sound horrible. Boiled tinned tomatoes or pasta sauce is not an enchilada sauce. It has a smokey slight spiciness to it, and a thickness that isn’t flour. Anyone who is making enchiladas and pouring over tinned tomatoes or pasta sauce need to do a covid test due to taste loss, or if you’re doing it and can taste you need to go to A&E for your head injury.
Things are going up month on month. The branded soup I normally buy was 2.75 at the start of the year. £3 by March and now its £3.20! The yogurts I get have gone from 60p a pop to 85! Pints of milk are what, 75p now too?
The one thing I can for sure tell is price changes now after literal years of the supermarket being my only regular activity thanks to lockdown.
> Which? analysed the prices of more than 21,000 groceries, using average prices at eight big supermarkets, and compared costs for **December last year to the end of February this year** with the same period two years previously.
They’ll need to do a new analysis to see the further rises then!
Recently, every time I speak to my dad, he makes sure to tell me how much a specific item has gone up in price at our local supermarket.
Edit: He stole some butter this week because he can’t justify paying the new price, you’d think he’d been part of a million dollar heist. I’ve never seen my dad so punk rock.
Items on my monthly Amazon grocery shopping are up 30-50%
Last year a five pack of donuts was 50p. Now a four pack of donuts is £1
Our weekly food shop for two people at Aldi has gone from about £55 to £65-£70 depending if we need additional bits like loo roll / washing up bits. I really don’t know how low income & single parent / people are coping!
Tip of the iceberg, prices for Britain will go through the roof when EU blockades them for breach of Ireland/NI protocol international agreement. Rogue state Britain better start learning Russian, shouldn’t be a problem with all the oligarchs London entertains.
Twenty percent? Most of the basics/essentials like butter & eggs are nearly double their prices from three weeks ago. Mostly due to feed & fuel costs. We counted on Russia & Ukraine for ~30% of wheat, and Russia’s not selling much fuel right now.
But 30-50% more fore for mushy peas and jams?
*gasps in Brex|t*…. well, nevermind *remainer eyeroll*
.The upper class did you well. They don’t care about these “slight changes”.
Two breasts of chicken in Asda are over £4 in my local. Insane
It’s not ridiculous. It’s exactly what people voted for, multiple times. Now eat your Tory Brexit.
I wanted to lose a bit of weight, this was not the way I planned on doing it though..
Shrinkflation is what bothers me most.
Would you rather pay more for the same amount, or pay the same amount for less product?
Personally I want to pay more, at least I know how to portion up my usual foods. I’m not left with 1.5 servings of vegetables for me and my partner instead of 2.
Big bag of Doritos was 99p on clubcard price. Now it is £1.25 on clubcard price.
Large clear honey was under £1.90 now it’s £2.70. That’s over 40% increase.
The only solution is to boycott them and stop eating food. Vote with your wallet people
“Brexit at any cost”
So 20% is clearly within what people where happy to pay for Brexit, right?
The world is getting richer whilst we are getting poorer. That is what “cost of living crisis” means.
Milk used to be around £1.10 for 4 pints now it’s £1.40 depending on where you shop
Cadbury buttons used to all be £1 a bag. Now £1.25.
I take an interest in these things and am always checking prices, from what I buy regular and these are the prices at Xmas and subsequently:
Tesco chicken thighs 1kg, £1.75, £1.85, £2, £2.20, now £2.30
Bisto gravy granules, £1, £1.25, £1.55, £1.75, now £1.85
Walkers marmite multibag, £1.25, £1.50, £1.65, now £1.85
Aldi duck and pancakes, £4.99, £5.49, now £5.99
Colmans mint sauce, £1, now £1.25
Broccoli head, 43p, 46p, now 50p
Kingsmill brown bread, 89p, 99p, now £1.10
Yeo valley strawberry yogurt, £1.25, £1.45, now £1.70
Dolmio smooth tomato sauce, £1.50, £1.60, now £1.80
De Cecco fusilli, £1.10, £1.40, £1.65, now £1.75
And these are just a few from my regulars, the only item which I buy which has dropped is Marmite jar, £2.70, now £2.49.
Maybe this will be the thing that finally sinks this government.
Wage stagnation, fuel and electricity inflation, and food inflation. Stuff that people can see in their day to day life. Maybe just maybe, the electorate might realise that the conservatives are terrible at managing the economy.

Our shopping usually costs about £40 a week. Was £55 last week..
Yep went into tescos for a quick shop for my weeks breakfast and lunch which is usually £15-17 ended up being £28. I actually had to check the receipt because I thought I double scanned something.
Yeah people will starve, but they’ll starve in a free sovereign nation (that was always a free sovereign nation) with blue passports and ultimately that makes it worth it.
No one could have predicted Brexit and the Tory government could have made the price of living rise so drastically. Apart from everyone that called it and actually understood how stupid Brexit was.
4 pack of beans in Asda used to be £1.00. Then it went up to £1.10. And now they’re £1.20.
20% increase from the original price. Absolute bollocks that price increase is necessary and isn’t just corporate greed.
To be fair, the cost of meat is ridiculously low. How the fuck can a fully grown chicken, plucked and to my door cost £3.
All the people adding really helpful posts about “a 30 minute walk to ALDI is fine, you just need to take a backpack” and “you can make your own cheese by….” are all missing the fucking point (or are just Tory trolls?)
Previously we didn’t have to all spend an hour walking to fucking ALDI (to queue for even longer at one of the two tills serving 30 people) to buy reasonable food. Previously we didn’t have to collect acorns in the park and grind them into a paste to get affordable protein.
I don’t understand some people’s frantic insistence on pretending something very serious isn’t happening which is making all of our lives collectively much worse.
Here’s the Brexit you voted for, cunts.
And did you notice the fruits & veggies since Brexit seem of shittier quality/going off significantly quicker than before?
So we’re all paying more for worse quality.
Well done, we turned back the clock, Brexit really is a time machine! 🙌
Got a feeling this is going to get worse before it gets better, not looking forward to winter.
Is anyone else noticing that fruit and veg goes off must faster now too?
I bought peaches last week and within 3 days 3 of them had turned into moldy mulch
Inflation: +9%
Price of 2 Sainsbury’s chicken breasts: +22%
Wages: +0%
Bank account interest: +0.1%
Ouch
It’s absolutely bullshit, quality of meat, fruit and veg has gone down too.
We actually switched to Sainsbury’s as we were sick of buying rotten onions, fruit and chicken from our local Tesco.
We pay a bit more and eat less but at least we’re not eating shite and throwing half of it away.
BT Profit £1.3bn – Broadband price rise 9%
Royal Mail Profit £758m – Stamp price rise 10p
BP Profits £6.3bn – fuel rises 22p per litre
British Gas profits £948m – energy £700 extra a year
My bi-weekly shop has gone from around £30 to £45 over the past year- everything has gotten more expensive. I can’t fucking take this shit anymore, I’m disabled and already have a ridiculously hard time with keeping myself alive. Now im regularly having to overdraft to prevent malnutrition at a time where that very well would send me to A&E.
Can someone please get rid of these tories, stop being stoic and fucking get them out

They are price gouging.
CLEARLY price gouging, and using inflation as an excuse.

This is a cost of electing the Tories crisis.

We need a general strike. Fuck them all.
