Price rises in the shops - what are you seeing?

[stickershock]

What items have you seen go up in the shops? I went to my co-op to buy milk yesterday. The regular kind was £1.55 (same as always, I think?) but organic had gone up to £2.55 😧😧😧(was £1.85 a few weeks ago)!! Also a bag of three paprikas was £1.60, has always been £1 for the last few years. (I’m in Central London if that matters).

Non-food: internet was £25 and has gone up to £28 since the pandemic (under introductory contract) and now will be £38 when introductory contract ends.

I’m a nurse and won’t get an increment this year, plus our pay rise is meant to be published but they’re saying it’ll be 3%. I’m pregnant with baby number two and feeling panicked often on how we are going to make this work. We are lucky to have two incomes, I don’t know how others will survive. Anyone else in a similar situation?

just yesterday, Multi surface cleaner, gone up to £1.25
that is by 25p
these are not small increases

OP Salmon has been very expensive for the last few years, I haven't thought it was mainstream

For me it's coffee. Used to be £4. Now it's £5 with everyone selling it at the same price. I used to shop around to get a deal on it, now there are none.

I went to the local shop at the weekend to buy rolls for a bbq and one pack was £3.

Also there is a small shop at the park and bought one small juice carton which was now £1.30. I bring my own in a big bottle from home but toddler won't drink it and always wants the juice from the shop even though it's the same :( I may have to a multi pack of cartons and pretend I bought it at the park.

Lurpak has gone to 4.50 for 500g. Pretty sure it was around 3.50 last year, went to 4.00 a few months back. Other things like veg etc have seen 20/30p which is 20/30% in most cases.
We do FILs shopping he uses ready meals. Offer was 3 for £6 now it's 2 for £5.

We're managing but will cut back on other things which has a knock on effect. pp mentioned hair cuts. If every customer of one salon had one less hair cut it means those businesses suffer, same with everything really isn't it? Takeaways, meals out, soft play, all those businesses that rely on those who could previously afford it but now will cut back will lose custom, either pushing prices up but more likely leading to loss of staff or even businesses closing, plunging more into poverty.

Oh and then food banks, my suspicion will be that as demand rises donations will also drop as those donating may have to reduce/stop. Locally I'm seeing lots of fair share being donated which is surplus stock from big supermarkets, in fact more than I've ever seen, Presumably because people are buying less? Surely that'll stop soon when the supermarkets just stock less?

The processed fish comes from Russian waters. As does cod for our fish and chips.

Crisps used to be 3 multipack bags with 6 packets in each for £3. Now it's the same for £3.75

Pringles used to be "on offer" for about half the time at £1 and I would never buy them unless they were that price. Now the "offer" price is £1.65

Milk has been steadily creeping up - about six months ago 4 pints was £1.09 - now it's £1.35.

16 roll packs of Andrex used to go on offer at my local shop for £5.50, now it is £8.50

Butter is rising so sharply. 5p every week or so!

I'm usually quiet good a guessing how much my shopping trolley will cost me before I get to the till. What usually would be £40 was £60!! This was in Aldi a few weeks ago. I have now started shopping online, at least then I can stop when I hit a certain amount.

Countrylife 750g butter went from £4 to £4.75 in our local supermarket.

I agree with a pp when you are gluten free the costs are eye watering. £3.50 for a loaf.

@JuneJubilee

Veg / bean protein may have gone up in price but it's still cheaper than fish.

Sainsburys chicken was £3.60 last year now £4.40 . That’s a pack of 640g.
Butter definitely more £1.60 to £2.
I use nectar points and have smart price app. Like a pp I stock up on items when I can buy more cheaply.

I bought a Schwarzkopf home eye brow tinting kit from Amazon the other day. It was £6 and it will do 4 goes. I think my brows look pretty good and I'm not going back to the salon when I can do it myself so much more cheaply.

Butter is definitely more expensive, and I can’t get the own brand anymore. That said, I used to pay 70p for a cucumber and that’s now 45p. Milk is now expensive but I also remember needing to bring it home from the shops when is was early teens in the 90s and it was 99p back then, so perhaps some things we’ve been used to underpaying for for years.

£9 for 1kg tub of lurpack
It was £5.50 not long ago
(Yes, we get through a lot of butter!)

Food up obviously
Insurances down
My gas/electric actually went down 😳
Telephone and mobile down

Apple juice - the not from concentrate type. Used to be £1.75 for 1.75 litres. Then went up to £1.95 and is now £2.10.

Britain has had some of the cheapest food prices I think the world for years so we aren’t used to these prices. Milk prices are increasing but I’d expect farm gate prices to still be less than what it costs a lot of farmers to produce sadly. Total milk production in the U.K. is down because costs of production are just so high, I’d expect milk prices to keep increasing.

Garlic flatbread used to be £1, now £1.45. Agree about salmon. Totally unaffordable now.

The price of everything in sainsburys seems to have been put up over the last week or so. I've been monitoring the prices using the 910g bottle of standard heinz ketchup as a reference.

On the ketchupflation scale it used to be about £2.95, then around christmas it was around £3. Last quarter it wavered back and forth between £3.25 and £3.10. At the weekend it was £3.50. They had the audacity to stick one of those price match stickers on the shelf. Not sure who they are price matching...Fortnum and Mason would be my guess at this rate.

I bought a weekly shop in Tesco and as we had a few things in the freezer I barely bought any meet or fish, and I bought one bottle of wine which was about £8. I was expecting the total to be around £80 but it was over 100.

We’re vegetarian and I’ve noticed the Quorn products have gone up a lot. A pack of two frozen fillets or burgers used be £2 in Sainsbury’s then went up to £2.50. I was walking through Asda at the weekend and noticed they cost £3 in there. Being veggie isn’t always cheaper.

Lurpak spreadable 500g -has been £3.25 for donkeys and now it's £5. £5!!

I agree with @fyn we just aren’t used to these prices in the UK (not that it helps to know that!) - whenever we’ve holidayed in France we’ve found food to be so expensive.

Having said that, we were doing a shop in Waitrose for the first time in ages at the weekend and the price of meat was shocking.
Spreadable butter has gone up, I bought a butter dish and we now use block. Also agree crisps have gone up.

It’s everything. My weekly shop used to be reliably under £80 if I did it at Morrisons, or about £5 more if I went to Waitrose. (We meal plan so I generally buy the same things week after week.) But now I count myself lucky if it’s less than £110 from either. And I would say Morrisons has gone up %age-wise more than Waitrose, they’re pretty much of a muchness now whereas previously Mozza’s has always been cheaper.
