Been shopping today and I go to various shops to keep the cost down but even Aldi has added 10/20p to everyday items. Farmfoods is the only shop that seems to still have value. We,ve moved away from branded foods but even they are being hiked up, dont buy biscuits/cake, crisps or sweets anymore. When you go shopping now foods like tesco value oats etc the shelves are bare, Ive always bought them but now it seems more people are to. Tesco fresh rolls used to be lovely but now seem undercooked and doughy, so stopped buying them. I do a monthly shop and from last month it seems alot more expensive, not sure if this is my imagination.

Interesting point on the Tesco bread rolls - a classic case of (failed) reformulation of the recipe, perhaps with a bit more water in it and a bit less baking time / temperature. Every little helps to bring the manufacturing cost down, eh?

Fancied spaghetti bolognese the other day so bought some Tesco mince which last time I purchased it (a month or so ago) was £3.79*, and paid £4.95. Now bracing myself for similar increases elsewhere

(*it was not a Clubcard offer)

Food inflation last month was something like 4.5%.
Luckily we've lots of garden veg and fruit at the moment
