How can one tin of Heinz soup now cost £1.40!

[925XX]

I have been monitoring prices and in January this cost 70 pence. Crazy prices.

Tesco 200G Walnuts were £2.50 in January. Just gone up this week to £2.90.

Even the prices in Aldi are creeping up. Not as drastically as the main supermarkets, but I'm definitely noticing 20p extra here and there.

60p for chewing gum.

Sainsbury’s soups are 55p

Of course the government doesn’t want to admit that Brexit is the cause.

We’re too tight to buy heinz, we buy aldi/lidl value and add a teaspoon of hendersons relish where baked beans are concerned. We aren’t big on soup, but we do also buy value hoops sometimes.

Thelondoneconomic blames credit.

Well, there's a surprise.

From their website: "The London Economic is a digital newspaper with a metropolitan mindset, supporting liberal, progressive, pro-European and pro-business viewpoints."

Blames Brexit, not credit.

Tip: don't buy fabric conditioner, apart from a very small percentage of people with skin conditions, it's an unnecessary product. I haven't used it for years since I found out it's often made of animal products. That's £2-3 saved.

You need to learn how to make soup. I didn't think it was possible to make a rank one

Everyone get on board with Mary Anne's cheeses. Unbelievably cheap

My weekly shop has gone up by 50 pounds and I missed things off the last one due to this. I’ve had to try smaller shops like herons and Poundland but I’ve noticed they are also experiencing the price hikes. Aldi used to be very cheap but even the prices there are starting to match asda. Also has anyone noticed how bad strawberries are, they are constantly off and I can’t wait for summer strawberry picking in England again

I have had lovely strawberries from Sainsburys but the best so far were M and S.

Every country in Europe is experiencing inflation, Ireland has a slightly higher rate for the moment. Brexit may be one of many factors.

I noticed the exact same thing about Heinz soup when I ordered the shopping this week. It’s the only soup my youngest likes so I like to have a couple of tins in the cupboard.
My shopping costs have hit an unsustainable level now so this week I’m going to have to really sit and work out how to lower it.

£1.55 for heinz soup in my local coop, the sort place where people walk to do their shopping most days.
Now of course you can eat something else, but it just illustrates the massive increase. A year ago it would have been less than a pound and still felt rather pricey.

Higher minimum wage , higher transport costs ?

Ocado I kg of Lurpak £9

Buy British butter

Yes, it's shocking. I've noticed when things are on offer they completely sell out very quickly now. People buy everything that's there. It's kind of frustrating when it comes to things like toilet roll but I understand why it's happening.

A family of 4, 4 weeks? A 250g block lasts two of us two weeks.

Just been to spar tin of Heinz soup 219 thought I was see things what a joke

Aldi's chunky soup is 69p, I'll be stocking up.

Warburtons gluten free bread £3.85 for 400g loaf.

As much as I hate tossco and boycott them their canned vegetable soup is really nice and it is 55p

£6.50 for 2 salmon fillets, used to be £4.50. Never cheap but £6.50!
