[quote ringlightisnotflattering]@mydogisthebest Milk has went up in price. It used to be 98p for 4 pints in Asda pre pandemic. It's now £1.25 for 4 pints.
When you are disabled and living on benefits that have risen 3% this year total, whilst inflation is nearing 10% and gas and electric is up a staggering 54%, the you'll notice these increases.
These increases cause misery for a lot of people. In previous years I've saved £2 a week (yes, a week), to have a couple days camping once a year. That is now gone for this year.

But I guess I'm lucky, some people will starve or freeze. At least as a female I have the option of selling my body if things get that bad. .
The race to the bottom is really alive and well on here!!
It would be telling if some on here had to actually try to live on the UC the Tories have brought in and the cuts and freezes. £70 a week for EVERYTHING after rent (and even worse if in private rent). Every bill. Even less if you have debts. My gas and electric and council tax is 60% of that alone. I spend £10 a week on food. I cannot even get a bus to visit my family 15 miles away. EVER.[/quote]
We are going back to the 70s. I remember as a young mum in the 70s wanting to visit my mum and I didn't have the bus fare, if I could scrape the fare together I knew she'd give me the fare home. It is a miserable way to live.
I also remember constantly taking meter readings and working out what the bills would be and interest rates making the mortgage dearer and dearer.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
