Why are Some Food Products Becoming More Expensive?
Ask a Question
One of my favourite drinks is Morrisons hot chocolate which was priced at 69p in 2022, its now £1.35-£1.49, so basically doubled in price!!
Flan Case,they used to be 49p,increased to £1,other week while shopping I saw one at an eye watering TWO POUND FIFTY,yes you read that right!
Bonnylass3 ...I know,I nearly fainted when I saw the price of the Flan Case,I used to buy a Flan Case & make a lovely Fruit Flan. for less than £2,not now!!
I find everything i buy from supermarkets seems to go up in price everytime I shop.
I've noticed a few things still going up in price but other items that are going down. It's all a bit random. I tend to resist price increases if I can so will buy something else if there is a suitable alternative.
Nearly everything has shot up in price. However, I have noticed some dairy products are less now eg butter.
Brexit/Covid/War in Ukraine get the blame for scarcity.It's a big con.We shoppers need to vote with our feet innit?
Microwavable rice. Use to be 85p now 95p for Basmati but some flavoured rice is £1:90!! Pot noodles are getting silly price and keep on increasing.
KAW18 I've found that at Aldis they do microwavable egg fried rice 42p, basmati rice 39p, plain rice 39p, and generally they average about 39p-42p......and they are as goods as Ben's, or even better on the egg fried rice.....Worth trying, you won't be disappointed
Last year I was paying £1.25 for Walkers multi pack crisps x 6. Now I am paying: Iceland - 2 for £3. Asda 2 for £3.25.
jam45 that's disgusting really as I class crisps as a treat, so it makes you wonder how much places like Iceland and asda are making profit wise.....Give us a break supermarket's, and you've said you're putting prices down but I've noticed it's mostly things that folks don't buy unless it's a treat....I noticed Anchor ready grated mature cheddar on special in Morrisons saying 25p cheaper than last year, I thought that was pretty good until an assistant was talking to another assistant stating that they weighed less than last years packets!! Con artists grrrrr, makes my blood boil!!
KAW18 thanks for the heads up, will get a couple of boxes for Christmas.....thanks again
Aldi in particular seems to have become more expensive over the last couple of years.
RegularComper90 haven't realised that Aldi's prices have gone up over the last couple of years because I only actually only started shopping from there approx 2yrs ago after finding Tescos and Morrisons expensive.....Will check the prices more now when in Aldi's, thanks for advice xx
I know everything has gone up but I now won't but the little boxes/packets of cakes, I can't beleive the prices of these, I always used to buy the odd ones at £1ish but won't pay £3.00 for them.
