  1. >The food products with the highest rates of inflation are milk (36.4%), cheese (35.2%), butters and spreads (32.2%), cakes and cookies (31.2%), and bakery items (30.3%).

    >Vegetable prices are up 19.1% since May-July 2021, meat prices are up 23.6% and savoury pies and pastries and quiches are up 26.2%. Biscuit prices have increased by 27% and juice drinks and smoothies are up 28.6%

    The cost of my shop has gone up noticeably and I’m constantly having to monitor prices and look for cheaper alternatives. Doesn’t always work though; went to get a block of butter this weekend and grabbed Anchor as it was a few pence cheaper. Got it home and the reason it was cheaper became clear, it was 200g not 250g

  2. Yep, you see em on telly whining about the price of milk.
