Rampant inflation!
Went into Morrisons for our croissants,5 for a pound
Got to the counter, and guess what ? It's 4 for a pound since january 1. 20% overnight :eek: |
it'll help with the new year diet ;)

Food prices on some items are going up by about 20% in the last year, i noticed a kilo bag of mixed frozen veg was £1 6 months ago then went to £1.10 and a couple of weeks ago £1.20 so again 20% in a year.
The price of Chicken has risen more than that and many other items you have to buy each week have in creased by 10% or more in the last year. I have noticed that Tesco is now more expensive on some items than sainsburys and tesco just keep putting up their prices |
Food has increased by a significant percentage. On some items you don't notice as either it is a few pence here and there or there will be a 'half price' offer for a few weeks and then when the offer finishes the price has increased beyond the original.

Can't give specific examples but im pretty certain it costs another 20 % a year to fetch a decent pair leather shoes on the high street

0.5% base rates and hundreds of billions of "quantitative easing" destroying Sterling - who'd have thought prices would go up? :(
Luckily things like desktop computers and video players are cheaper, so the headline inflation figure is close to 2% when inflation on everything we actually need to buy regularly is much higher. |
Video players?
(iv got 2 in the basement ready for skipping ) |
I'm not sure about the desktops either, as far as can see lqptops have just gone down
,to equal desktop prices! |
