[malificent7]

That is an increase from.around 70p a few weeks ago. In lidl. Very concerning. Anyone else noticed?

Ocado Brocoli is 82p….so yes, by that comparison OP, 99p is high….

It's not a competition with other countries, a lot of which were always pricier for food but better in other areas, its the fact food prices are soaring so quickly here when everything else is too. disproportionally with income. The problem right now is choosing which is more important, being able to eat or having a roof over your head...My rent is now 3/4 of my income, the bills soak the rest even with being ultra frugal. The less leccy water we use the more it costs! Low wage employers are getting round the rises in NMW by simply shedding staff or cutting hours but expecting more work from the staff left, under the threat of "you're next" .Food is the only controllable expense for us, and we go hungry most days Anyone who isn't feeling that, then you are lucky andI hope it doesn't continue rising to the extent that you do, by then of course we won't be here.Just one more significant rise in rent and we will be homeless, there simply is nowhere cheaper to move to

Do you not think these prices are also rising in other countries as well? I swear every time I go to the supermarket everything has gone up in price. If people want to eat out of season food then they have to pay a price for that - it is a choice, why does anyone need cucumber in winter?

Shift workers may have breaks around 2am? Anyone worried enough may not be sleeping? Not everyone is tucked up 😊

i swapped lidl for ocado when i got a free delivery/money off offer. I always thought it was expensive but the basics and saver deals either ocado and m&s do rival the so called budget supermarkets. And it’s delivered! HATE food shopping.

It’s a good point that wages aren’t keeping up with everything continously going up. 2/3% pay rises barely touch the surface of council tax, water (£20 a month more!) council tax, phone, energy, insurances etc all going up and up.

Insomnia!!
