To ask for your rising cost of living examples

[CervixSampler]

Inspired by another thread but mainly by my own experiences today.
In February it was 20p to use the public loos at our favourite seaside town. Today it has doubled to 40p! There are now contactless points incase you don't have any cash. 40p to pee!
Mr Kipling cherry Bakewells have jumped to £1.90 in Asda and I'm sure they used to be £1.40 or sometimes even £1 and that was only a few weeks back. Cake isn't essential I know, but peeing is. Things have gone up generally but the odd pence here and there isn't always noticed but these are huge jumps.

I agree although aren't they usually slaughtered at around 6 weeks, so not a long period to feed them.

Not essential but was shocked at how expensive SPA Days have become. Special Offer days Seem to have gone up by about 50%

A tin of pink grapefruit in Sainsburys, up from £1.00 to £1.10.

I work in retail and do the evening restocking shift. I don’t work for a food store but a chain that sells everything from toiletries to diy. We can’t keep up with the price changes. Many shelves with tickets turned around and no stock on them as someone has yet to do the price changes. We also used to have 6 deliveries a week now we are only getting 4. Shoplifting is though the roof. Pretty much everything over £5 has to have a security sticker stuck on and high loss areas and easy to steal and sell items like air care, toothpaste and facial stuff are tagged no matter what the price even the cheap brands. Plenty still gets stolen as they remove the packaging and you find it shoved down the back of the shelves.

I used to buy tesco own brand ginger beer as it was nicer than any branded stuff. Used to come in a 4 pack of cans for 99p, which was a bargain. Now they are selling it as individual cans at 50p per can - Doubled in price!

I believe they're on clubland price just now 4 for £1 so essentially same price as before except no plastic 🙌

I don't have a club card, but might look into once if I can still get my 4 for a £1 ginger beer! Less plastic is always a winner too. Thanks :-)

@BeachTree definitely look into getting a Clubcard, makes a huge difference

Not news but I’m worried about diesel prices - it’s restricting my non work activities but need to be able to get to work
