At the start of the year own brand butter was €2.19 in all the supermarkets now it’s €3.39 that’s a 55% increase.
75c for a litre of milk in most supermarkets then now seems to be between €1.05-1.15. Definitely more than 20%.
I rarely ever buy 3 litres so seeing that Aldi has gone up 61% is amazing.
I love the three of those things.
THIS IS A DISGRACE
I cut out some stuff, but my aldi shop a week has gone from under 25€ a week to over €30. I am just buying for myself and get mostly basic stuff there, but I am payin 20-25% more than I was just a few months ago. And thats with buying less then I used to do.
The 3 cornerstones of the Irish diet.
The nation could collapse if this keeps going.
Just as an oul heads up this isn’t Ireland, its global. I’m 6,000 miles away and I’m now paying $4.99 for a half gallon (bit under 2L) of organic milk (you do NOT want to be touching the hormone filled non organic shite here!), a loaf of generic supermarket brand white bread is $4.49, and mass-farmed boneless chicken filets are $6.99 a pound (about $15.50 a kg). Then whack another 10% on top of that for “sales tax.” The milk’s gone up $1 a carton since the start of the year, the chicken about $1.50 a pound more, and the bread has basically doubled in price.
This is from Safeway, the Yank equivalent of Tesco.
And chicken fillet rolls over 50% more expensive. Make it make sense
After spending a month living in America I will never complain about the price of food here again. We all hate to see it going up but we honestly don’t know how good we have it here.
