To think the cost of food shopping has gone up?

[Katekarate]

Just seem to be spending a lot more on food lately. Do others feel like prices have gone up?

Yes, they have. It's been widely predicted so not surprised.

Brexit.

Agree it's not a surprise.

This has been happening for a while and was a known effect of Brexit. It shouldn't be a surprise, even if it's very disappointing.

Yep. Lurpak that was £2.75 is now £3.50 in Tesco, filtered milk in Waitrose has gone up from £1.19 to £1.40.

There some to be some really good deals on wine at the moment though, so I think I'll eat less and drink more.

Thanks. This week's food shop just seems worse than usual. Must've been gradually creeping up but this week it really seems noticeable. For some families this must be causing real hardship

Excellent strategy @LakieLady

Don't blame you LakieLady ! those are big rises.

Yes, and it was dismissed as Project Fear, along with the Irish border issue.

I'm Brexit voters think this is a small price to pay for blue passports and having the Union flag on their cars instead of the EU one.

Sorry, missing word there - I'm sure Brexit voters etc.

But the official blame will be placed on Covid

Thanks Sunshinedrops85
No doubt pay won't be rising by the same amount
