What price increase has shocked you?

@Springandsummerarecoming @MultiBird and what annoys me with hygienists is that 15 years ago the dentist would have been cleaning your teeth as part of the appointment!

DH was talking in his sleep last night and muttered "£5 for lurpak..."

Pringles. Although it's not a bad thing as it stops me buying them!

I think Pringles are insanely cheap - they're £1.65 on Ocado today (I bought ten tubes )

For 200g - that's 10 bags worth of crisps for £1.65 !

Double pack of Rich Tea in Tesco was £1.89 now £2.30 & they have a Garlic grinder that I love which was £2 now £2.60.

On the 6th May I bought new tyres for the car.

£90 each.

18th June I got an unfortunate puncture and needed to get another tyre.

£115 for the same tyre.

£9.10 in my nearest large Tesco for 12 rolls of loo paper.

Ok they say they are "double rolls" so last longer but £9.10? Really?

Total first world problem (and obviously I left them on the shelf anyway), but my recent 'WTF is happening to food prices now' movement was picking up two chocolate eclairs in M&S - admittedly the posher range.

£6!!! Six bloody English pounds.

Sacks of dog food for my working gundogs. They have gone up by 50% in the last year. And I don't pay VAT on it either, which would add another huge chunk.

Fish platter at a seafood restaurant has increased in priced from £30 to £50.

My car is £9 more expensive to fill up than it was when I got it 18 months ago.

My teenager sent me a bewildered text about the price of Freddos this week They were/are 45p! FORTY FIVE PENCE. In a supermarket so not even a ridiculously priced convenience store etc. We do not live in London.

There's been a few things recently where I've just refused to buy something at the price it is. Pringles are one. I can't think of anything else specific off the top of my head just now.

Chicken feed! I actually don’t know what it was or how much it’s gone up by because dh deals with all of that stuff but he came back the other day saying it had shot up in price.

Plasterboard 8 x 4 sheet always around £6 now £14

Petrol. Far more cost to
Me then a pack of bloody butter

@Ariela I think you're right. I do my big shop there and have had some. This was asda which is much closer and for emergencies 😂

Fish and chips. Used to be a favourite treat but prices a lot higher now.

Kitchen roll

Steak.

everything else from my usual shop has gone up by 10/20p

the steaks i used to get from aldi were £3.30-50p and now the same steak is £4.90

obviously put it back.

Parking at Gatwick Official Long Stay South for 15 days.
Was regularly under £100 in the winter
Now £500 in June

I declined.

(There was always a summer price differential - but this is just ridiculous)

Heinz spaghetti and sausage 400h tins are £1.70 per tin in most shops!!!

They used to be £1.20 a can and often 2 for £2.

no longer a guilty pleasure 🫤

Butter!!! Lurpack, I saw it was £7.25 😱😱

Greek style yoghurt with honey. Was £1 in both Tesco and Morrisons, now £1.20 and £1.29. Flaming ridiculous.

That really sucks. Where I live going to the dentist is free up to the age of 23.

Chicken. I just paid £6.50 for 4 breasts in Morrisons
