Cost of food items rocketing

[Botchie]

I nipped down the corner shop for a loaf earlier and it was £2.

again find the crisps alright from Aldi

Beans tha fuck me corale beans should be destroyed

Lidl's wotsits are a pretty poor effort to be honest , but their other stuff (apart from ready meals) are canny.

You’ve only just realised it’s gone up £3.70?

Ha ha, Brexiters maths in action.

Can’t blame the war. This started happening at the start of 2021 long before Putin invaded Ukraine.

A lot of it is born out of greed imo.

They can all smell blood seeing as we're paying through the f***ing nose for everything else too

Yep. Even those that need to up their prices are doing so because they want a peice of the pie.

Morrisons, I think are ramping up prices faster than most. cannot be sure though.

I like my strawberry Skyr yoghurt for breakfast and it was £1 in tesco at the beginning of the year, it then jumped to £1.25, was in morrisons the other night and it was £2.

Supermarket voted 'cheapest' three weeks ago now most expensive as prices hiked

Shoppers across the UK have been dismayed at price hikes for items like milk, bread, teabags and butter as supermarkets struggle to keep costs down while reacting to the cost of living crisis

Damn typos.

Try the fish bites from Iceland, in various flavours. To die for.

How many of them?

 

[Luna17]

Feckin hell, even the mixed berry cheesecake in Aldi has gone up

Heading that way too. There's only me most the time so pick reduced stuff up to put in freezer more and more.

Lurpak is f*****g class. A good 2cm thick layering on cold toast is perfection.

I'm down to 1.8cm. Times are hard.

 

[derum]

Same over here. The thing that really boils my piss is that you know some of the stuff on the shelves has been there a while, but they still ram the price up.
The store owners don’t give a toss, they just want to keep profits up and keep shareholders happy.

I do a weekly shop online. The whole thing has gone up a lot.

 

[Qwerty]

We're certainly paying for covid now. And mad Pootins invasion of course.

And having record debt before those events is making it worse.

Ukraine are a massive exporter of various foodstuff. Russia export quite a bit of wheat also iirc. The price of oil and gas also effects the price of importing, refining and distributing food. It's had a massive impact.
