Sorry if this has been covered already.
I'm wondering by how much food, fuel and household essentials/toiletries are likely to go up. I know there's nothing definite but a rough idea would be helpful to help prepare for the increases.
Those who recognise my name will know I'm already prepping and have (or will have) about 4 weeks worth of food, more of household essentials/toiletries and a full freezer.
My concern is mainly my mum who is fairly fussy about food, very traditional meat and two veg and potatoes lady. She is on a very limited income (state pension) and I'm trying to prepare her for the worst case scenario of no deal. She has a small stash of tinned and packet food but isn't one for rice or pasta or noodles or the things that are cheap, quick and easy to cook and are long life.
Today she's said she needs prioritise getting the car fixed over stocking up which worries me. I've added extra things to my online shop for her and will help her out but I'm a single SAHM with 3 children so my ability to help is limited.
She's got food for a couple of weeks, loo roll, bottled water, some fruit juice, tea, coffee, long life milk. I've stocked her up on treats such as chocolate and crisps and encourage her to add extra items each time we shop (we usually shop together- it's the highlight of our week
)
I'm a veggie and have never bought meat or fish so have no idea how much it costs except to know it's expensive.
Any knowledge/suggestions much appreciated.
