Does anyone think the cost of certain foods etc will become extortionately high, I’m not huge on politics so can’t figure out if this current deal is actually a good one or not.
I usually live pay cheque to pay cheque so I did my best to prep and have got a decent amount of dried goods.

Most of us live paycheque to paycheque so that's pretty much how it is for everyone. I'd suggest looking at Jack Monroe's website and/or getting hold of her book Tin Can Cook. Just to get some cheaper tasty meals into your "repertoire " with shelf stable meals. Also, if you can free up a window ledge or even better if you have some outdoor space , look into growing a bit of your own. You can't be self sufficient but it's satisfying to have fresh stuff that you grew in an odd meal. For example, I'm currently growing pea shoots on a window ledge for some salady greens.
It's hard to predict what will be more expensive. I'm guessing most things to a greater or lesser extent. Supermarkets etc will have to pass on some costs to consumers.

I am with you on the pea shoots. Costs about 40p for a bucket full plus the cost of compost and super nutritious.

One thing I have bought quite a bit of. Great in salads and smoothies.

Foods and goods that come from Europe will be hard to get for a few months, and when they return they will be more expensive.
Foods and goods that come from outside of Europe will be more expensive, because we no longer have the trading clout of the EU, plus they will be taxed.

If you are on a budget, then concentrate on the staple foods you eat most often and rely on, plus a few treats that make life more bearable (cocoa, tea, coffee.)
