To ask what price increase have you seen in you daily life in the last few months?

[Valentine2]

I am trying to come up with a list of these. I have noticed three in my own grocery/everyday expenses: Flour bag (nearly 6%), fare (5%) and bread (25-30% fr what i remember just a few days ago).
I suppose they were supposed to increase considering the loss of value for £ after Brexit vote. But I was too busy to take notice and only noticed these three.
Can we please try to document it somehow?

Petrol is the biggest one - even though I fill up every 10 days seeing the price of £1.20 for a litre of unleaded on the sign made me . Surely it was only £1.08 last time!!!! And yes, I know its because they've limited production because the rich people werent making enough money

Haven't noticed much increase in prices but definitely noticed that packets have got smaller. I use Aldi (now theyve started doing brands ) Wilko and Superdrug for bathroom and other household products. Then Aldi and Sainsburys for everything else - Aldi just dont have some stuff

Are butterfat prices going up?

Always wanted to say that

I've noticed Tesco butter go up from 85p to £1.09.

Tesco's own butter is suddenly £1. Saintsbury's paracetamol is suddenly 80p from 60p . YY to flour.

Obviously fuel.

Cross post - £1.09 then not £1 for tesco butter.

What a stupid thread, lots of things have gone up in price, but they always do. Brexit or not, train tickets go up every year for example.

Some things have gone down as well! Are people forgetting what we were paying for fuel only a few years ago was ridiculous.

Things go up in price and come down, end of story.

I honestly haven't noticed a rise with my food bill

Food has always gone up and down by 10p/50p depending on what time of year it is. This has happened for as long as I can remember

Only thing I do notice is petrol but again petrol prices have always gone up and down so that really isn't a few thing

It's not a stupid thread at all. Yes prices are always fluctuating but it's interesting to read which price changes in particular people are noticing at the moment.

My occasional train fare usually goes up 10% per annum. This January it hasn't increased, which is surprising.

Oil has been very cheap for about two years, started going up about may last year. Petrol a bit later.

Electricity and gas are now going up, impossible to get new fixes cheaper than old ones.( remember the official savings model compares with the inflated standard rates and so is a lie if you are on a fix )

Food prices in aldi seem as normal - veg varies seasonally anyway.

Real inflation has been over 2% for some time, the official figures include clothing and tech which I rarely buy.

I wasnt in the UK when the pound was at near parity with the euro, much worse than now - although I realise that the us dollar matters more. Isn't trump crashing that ?

Oh, and sainsbury chocolate went from 35p to 50p. Aldi is still 30p for the same size bar.

Yesterday I found cucumbers have gone up from 45p to 50p. That's quite a big jump imo.

And tesco butter was 86/96p and yesterday it was £1.04. Massive jump

Car park at the local leisure centre went up from £1 for two hours to £1.50. Quite a big increase! The bus is now something like £2.20 for a single journey of about 2.5 miles.

might have to go to tesco for butter £1.40 for what was a £1 only last year. Nearly tempted to make my own!!

Re: butter prices

here is some trading information from the "Cheese Reporter"

the underlying market price has jumped

I also read that salmon prices are affected because of an outbreak of lice in farmed salmon. (Euuugh!)

Petrol/oil - the oil price has doubled on the international markets in the last year, combined with the currency impact of £/$

I bought a bottle of night nurse last week in Tesco and the price has gone up from £5 to £6.95 since I bought it last.
Our shopping has gone up about £20-30 a week over the last 6 months or so, I mainly shop at Tesco as it's convenient and I can't get every thing I need at Aldi/Lidl so I end up needing a top up at Tesco anyway. I don't buy many branded products and buy mid range own brand products.

So far, my perception is they are sneaking in price rises so slowly that it's hard to keep track.
I don't think £ is going back to its pre Brexit vote value so I think if my weekly shop increases even a 10% more, my budget will be out of the window because I used to squeeze here and there and now it's not possible.

Is there a place we could register this? May be someone posted this ipthread and I missed it. It would be great if any of you could share something like this. I will comeback and post if I find it.

Here are some charts showing how coffee prices and sugar have moved recently.

The underlying markets are influencing price rises as well as exchange rate moves

madbengalmum why is it a stupid thread? You do realise some of us are on a budget and therefore do have to take note of prices. Fine if you can afford to chuck things in your trolley without noticing, some of us can't.

I have started to break my shopping down and buy it in various places.

Cat food, toilet rolls, cat litter and washing powder I buy from Amazon in bulk as it's a lot cheaper plus it's delivered.

We have a wholesalers near us which stocks stuff going out of date and you can get some real bargains there - coffee at £1 a packet for the ground stuff, we were getting huge packs of Nescafe refills for £5 but they have none left. I bulk buy things for packed lunches in there.

And then I split out fruit, veg, meat and dairy between Asda and Lidl.

I found I was spending far too much buying in one shop.

Porridge was £1.29 now £1.49 and yogurt was £1 now £1.25

A block of Tesco butter was 89p on my shop last week (and the last few months) and is now £1.09

Sorry, x-posted with everyone in my haste to post about extortionate butter price rise

Chappie Dog food gone from £1.60 a big can to £1.75 in Sainsburys. I go now to Waitrose for it where it is £1.50 (for now anyway)

5p to 10p in the pound on food. Where prices haven't risen, fewer or smaller items in a pack. Petrol. Trains, of course.
