I know food and stuff keeps going up but Ive just been to the supermarket (asda) and I cant believe the way groceries have gone up during the past month or so. Is it me or has anyone else noticed? Im getting the same stuff more or less but I think my bills gone up quite a bit. e.g. I always get a bunch of flowers, same every time £1.88, theyve been that for over 18 months for sure. £2.28 - I cant believe it thats 40 pence difference. You expect things to go by pence at a time but everything seems to be leaping up. I feel sorry for families with young kids - Im on my own and I get my discount so goodness knows how you all cope. Has anyone else noticed a difference?
Fruit and veg are my biggest issue. For a bunch of grapes to be £3 I think its ridiculous and corn on the cob is currently £1 per cob. Unfortunately this is just getting a bit too high and the fruit and veg are the two areas I have noticed the biggest increase in cost. We are even starting to add frozen veggies back in as I just can't afford the price of the fresh stuff at the moment especially considering some of the quality is not great. I hate frozens so for me to be making a move to use them more it is definitely hard times. Meat doesn't seem to have gone up bar for chickens which seem to have jumped by £1 per bird at Morrisons
What a ripoff, fruit and veg crap quality as well, prices are jacked up to pay for cheaper petrol if you spend $30 or more, 4 cents a litre off, you don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to work that one out.
