Food prices up, what have you bought that has increased in price?

Ready to feed baby milk by cow and gate, I get it from the cash and carry and price was £6.99 for a box of 12.

It has now increased in price to £7.59 for a box of 12 from all the cash and carrys I use.

I think it was Thor Heyerdahl who's responsible for Tzatziki if memory serves me well. Perhaps the price of balsa wood has gone up?

 

I imagine it has, in the last 70 years.

The annual rate of inflation in the UK dropped last month to 0.9%. The Bank of England target is for it to average 2%. I suppose it all depends what time period you are talking about. A mini was £490 in 1966, now it is £16000. That's a rise of over 3200%

 

My wage was £1.50 plus accommodation and food in 1966. I also worked six days per week and thought I was lucky to be living in a warm house with decent people.

What job did you do in 1966 to get such a low wage?

 

I worked 5 1/2 days a week as an apprentice and was paid £5.10/6

Thornbridge bottled beer has risen by 50% in the pub.

500ml bottles have now been replaced by 330ml bottles at the same price.

Co-op own brand tea and coffee gone up by about 10%.

Independent tradesman seem to be charging a lot more for their services. No job too small? Maybe, but you'll still be paying top wack for doing it.

Only thing I have noticed rise is petrol. Coal is same price as last year at Asda (£3 for a 10 Kilo bag)

 

You say that but in 2013 petrol was over £1.30/litre and now its £1.12/£1.14.

If the pub charges more than £2.50 a pint then they are ripping you off, go to Wetherspoons .

Or The Brown Bear on Norfolk Street .

No.

With 20 pubs within three-quarters of a mile I have plenty of choice.
