Everyday groceries that have especially gone up in price

[hedgehogsinthehedgerow]

Just wondering what people have noticed has gone up the most? for me it's kitchen roll. It seems to have gone up so much.

Yoghurt. A pack of 4 Greek style yoghurt pots in Lidl always used to be 99p. Now they are £1.65.
Butter.
Yoyo Bear Rolls. They were always £2.40 but I bought them on offer at £2. Now they are £2.85 and barely reduced.
KitKats.

I use any old oil and never noticed a difference. Have tou noticed difference to recipe outcome with half?

It's so depressing now going shopping. Even the yellow label tickets are no longer value for money. Just a couple of years ago I would go to Tesco around 7pm and stock up our freezer on 63p ready meals for my partner to take to work, only thing ever over £1 was the very occasional pack of steak. Now even at 9pm on the reduced section there might be a stray item still priced at nearly £2.

Christmas prices were horrendous and who the hell is buying some of the everyday finest ranges of food coz most of us can barely afford the supermarket basic range and even if we can afford it, it's begrudgingly paying it.

It's time supermarkets and energy companies were looked into for ripping us off.

The question I keep asking is why do they keep increasing every week, I appreciate how we are looking at the extra NI contributions now but it has been every week for years now. Fuel prices and energy prices came down and it would have been bad enough that food cost didn’t decrease but it just kept going up.
The government and MP’d don’t seem interested

I’ve been happily buying Waitrose own brand Oat Milk for £1.10 for ages and thus week it’s gone up 30p!!

last 4 meals have been homemade Dahl with cauliflower and green cabbage.

Anything heinz branded or any brand of chocolate has literally sky rocketed.
The size of Cadbury multi packs now is a joke, they are fun size chocolates at block chocolate prices.

Bloody everything! But some stuff that I’ve recently put back in the shelf because I couldn’t bring myself to pay it:

A tub of carte dor ice cream retailing at almost FIVE English pounds

Olive oil, obviously

Branded weetabix - I think it’s like four quid a pack now?

Packet stuffing is crazy money for what it is now. I remember when I was under a pound

and I didn’t put it back, but since when was a cucumber a quid!!!?

we don’t buy that much by way of ready meals etc. but I buy almost nothing that has required lots of factory process now to make - ready made pizzas, stuffed fresh ravioli, fajita kits etc - because the prices have just gone up too far.

Broccoli seems to have got really expensive recently. No idea why

Olive oil!

I quite often buy packets of slow cooked ribs from Tesco for a panic midweek supper. They are normally £4.50 but I only buy them when they are on offer at 2 for £8.

I bought some just before Christmas. Today I noticed that the standard price is £5 and on special they are being reduced to £4.50. That's a 12.5% price increase and is absolutely outrageous!

Won't be buying them again.

I am sure the term Cost of Living Crisis was coined by supermarkets so they could get away with overinflated prices and people would just accept it. I know that the energy prices had a ripple effect, but there is definitely a significant element of self-fulfilling prophecy about the whole thing!

Heinz beans - the snack pot size. DH likes these - were £2.50 , though often on offer 2 for £4 or so. Now £3.50 for the same pack of 4 and not seen any offers lately.
Tins should be better value but I don’t eat them so the excess gets binned.

I think they’ll be going up even more. I’m a farmer and a lot of farmers are now on link contracts where we effectively get a guaranteed (small margin). The supermarkets base all our wages on Min wage, so if that’s going up by 15% or whatever it is then so does what we get paid. Plus the NI contributions, fertiliser tax and crap weather it’s not going to be pretty.

Butter and crisps are the things I notice the most.

Häagen-Dazs salted caramel (half a litre) used to be about £2.75 a couple of years ago. I have seen it at £5.15 and £5.35 recently.

I remember. those yogurts were 99p! What a. Jump

I used to buy cheap chocolate rolls from Tesco for 85p as the kids had them in lunch boxes. Now they're £1.35 and smaller!

Shrinkflation is so annoying, it's one thing putting up the price, it's another when they put up the price AND make the item smaller.

I think you are 100% right supermarkets are using it as an excuse to hike prices and keep profit

Hardly an essential purchase but I used to sometimes grab a box of "Matchmakers" to share. They were always £1.

In the past year or so, they went up to £1.25 (everywhere, the "cheaper" discount shops as well as the supermarkets). Now they are £1.50. A fifty percent increase. I don't get them anymore!

Ohh a quick search tells me Matchmakers are now £2:00 in some places!

like the high juice squash at Sainsbury's, on my last visit they seemed to have some of their older stock at £1.90, and newer stock at an eye watering £3.15

That is such a big price hike. Also orange juice like people have said, I hardly buy it now but used to get it weekly. A fiver for a tub of ice cream is crazy. I don't use much olive oil, shocked to hear how much that is now.

Thanks for the poster who said about the Aldi kitchen roll I will look there. I've never bought posh ones but remember that a few years ago it was about £1 or £1.50, now it's double that at least. Way more than inflation.

Lots of my staples have gone up butter used to be 85p doubled. Milk was a £1 for four pints. Cheese was always on special at around £5 a kilo now around £8. Cheapest pasta/ spaghetti was 20p now 30-45p. Olive oil is a fortune. Meat and Fish are expensive too. Also there are less offers. Used to get cheap side of salmon, leg of lamb, pork joint on a weekly basis now all the offers are for processed rubbish. Fruit and veg much more expensive 90p a cucumber nearly a quid for broccoli.

In Aldi today I saw chicken breasts that were security sealed . I did notice that meat etc was extra expensive and commented that steak used to be a luxury and now seems it will be again . I don't know how people on average wages with kids will be able to afford all these increases. Everything is going up except wages.

Pack of 6 tomatoes 🍅
69p for 6
now
99p for 5-6

Not really the point but those yo-yo bear rolls are in the Co-op for £1.90 just now. Dc like them but I can’t bring myself to pay more than 50p each.
