What price increase has shocked you?

??

Good grief!

cheese and butter

but surprisingly my electric hasn’t gone up that much
Im on a pre pay and I keep £100 on it and each week I just top it back up to £100 I normally put £20 a week on since the the increase in April
Before that it would use around £15 a week

But i have a big 5seater hot tub and the increase in my electric has been about £15 a week more and it’s on 24-7

I live alone so only get a grocery order delivered once every three or four weeks. Spend just enough to get it delivered.

Went to top it up last week with a couple of things I'd forgotten and had a message to say items in my order had increased in price. Instead of being about £41, the order had gone up to £54! This is Asda btw! Just usual non branded stuff like kitchen roll and yogurts.

All of it. My weekly shop used to be 80 quid. Now it's 120. I'm buying the same stuff.

It's bleak

Diesel - I know everybody feels the same but bloody hell every time I drive past a forecourt I want to weep. I am an NHS community Nurse and it is now costing me to go to work with a 90 mile commute and my patch has been changed so I cover a large city instead of a small area.

Anchor butter, i had to £4 in Tesco last week, will be switching to normal blocks of butter I think.

Interest Rates. For lots of stupid reasons I’m not on fixes at the moment, and I keep getting hammered by them. I could have really used a period of stability right now. I could cope with everything else.

Although, butter. What’s that about? I don’t mind giving up meat and fish, but not being able to afford butter is going to be a last straw.

Also, gas. Electric is ok. I can moderate usage. But I’m not going to put up with being miserably cold.

Fish fingers. I put them back.
Edam cheese slices. I put them back.
Loads of things. everything is up by 10p or more. I've stopped buying so much stuff which I suppose it good.

Yep. And when you tell them you can no longer afford it they are shocked!

Eggs and vegetable oil.

Cooking oil, 6 pound for a 2 litre bottle that was 2.50 untill recent times! So many items up by 50p and more, it's scandalous

The NHS dentist my kids go to just wrote to us to say due to the costs increase they can no longer afford to offer NHS treatment and so if we want the kids to attend we need to go private.

There are no other NHS dentists taking patients in the area, and I cant afford private treatment for the kids. I dont know what to do.

The usual fuel/utilities increase is shocking.

I would say food increases have shocked me the most. We already buy the cheapest of everything and only the minimum we need so cant even save by changing what we buy.

Pasta, the basic fusilli used to be 70p a pack, now £1.50, basic spaghetti 45p, now £1.

£2.80 for four nectarines
£4 for 10 fish fingers

Warburtons rolls used to be £1 for 12 (this year) and now it's £1.50 for 6.

Cheese I buy has gone up 40p to £2.19.

Alpro oatmilk is now £2 a carton.

Kelloggs All Bran. It goes up regularly (lol) and now costs 3 pounds 15 per box.

Farmfoods have butter at 3.20 for 2x250gm. This is Ballyrashane butter made in Coleraine. Maybe not lurpak, but more than adequate for me.

The lot. £9 for a single pair of boys (2-3 years) shorts in asda? £9 used to get me a full adult jumpsuit.
Nearly £100 to fill my car, this time last year was about £62.
Items I used to buy DC1 two years later for the same thing are costing us an arm.
Luckily gas and electric haven’t got us but judging by smart meter it’s going to get us at some point.

A 99 ice cream!

An ice cream van locally was selling them for £3.50 recently. I was gobsmacked! How is that a 99?!?

Our dentist explained the price rises: they now have to do far more sterilising between appointments, so each appointment necessarily requires a bigger slot in the diary. They also have their bills to pay, so pass on the cost.

Agree its almost everything. I'd say 70% of my average basket has gone up.

Latest thing was M&S chicken teddies. I get them as a treat for the kids sometimes and they've gone up from £2.60 to £3.10. Since yesterday!!!!

My youngest has a weekly physio session (private) and it's gone up by 34%. Even with DLA I'm not sure how long we can afford to keep going now.

Salt.
Was 27p for a 750g pot, then out of stock for ages & now 55p.
Not fancy seasalt or anything, just ordinary salt.

sunflower oil jumped from 1.30 a litre to 1.99....now down again...but it was more expensive buying the giant 3 litre size...!!

Just looked into hiring a car for a few days. Did it last year, no issues. Now … nearly had a heart attack at the prices!
