I just noticed today that the 250g block of own-brand butter in Tesco has gone up again to £1.99, and this is price matched to Aldi who I assume have also put it up. Think I'll now unfortunately not be buying it at all and switching to cheap spread!

I did go and buy some underwear essentials earlier for the kids from sainsburys, and was horrified to pay £75!! Primark it is, from now on.

That must have been a lot of underwear in one go!

A lot of these are slightly amusing to me: “no more fillet steak” 🤣 🙊
I mean, it’s not that funny when there will be people choosing between heating and eating but there you go.
We shop at Tesco, with top ups at Lidl, and with the club card, not much has really jumped out at me price wise. However, I did notice cathedral city cheddar has gone up and wasn’t on offer anymore (usually that or pilgrims choice is on offer and I choose whichever is cheapest).

Philadelphia. Used to be about a quid. 2.20 now. Own brand stuff doesn't come with all the different flavours and isn't as nice. It was own/cheap brand all the way until I was about 25. Didn't think I'd be going back to it.
Not an every day purchase, but tins of paint in b&m have gone up by 3 quid. Same paint, same shelf, so why the increase?

I really resent the price of butter, it’s went astronomical. I’ve downgraded most of my shopping items and we not eat less meat overall. The weekly shop is still about £25/30 dearer.

Buses to be so fussy with instant coffee . But my favourite is now £7 a jar . No way could I justify that . I switched to an Aldi one and I have to say I’ve got used to it .
