Items you no longer buy due to increase in price??

EGGS used to be a cheap staple , the price of even the value ones is ridiculous now , so I only buy things like eggs and bacon occasionally

Fish fingers used to be THE cheap and cheerful kiddies food but they have gone up alot now

Bread I use coupons or from the reduced section

Passatta instead of tinned toms , have cut down on beans , so looks like a proper fry up is a luxury now! lol

Meat is ridiculous in price so I buy the value frozen chicken and look out for offers , same with cheese

Price of butter is ridiculous and it sells out quickly if it goes to even £1 a pack , but I still love a bit of butter , just don't like paying over the odds for it

Things like coconut milk or creamed coconut for a nice curry the prices have soared for some reason

Toilet roll is expensive now since they've started doing the value jumbo rolls which I hate so usually pay £2.50 for a pack of 9 quality brand now..

Milk I use value skimmed UHT which is fine

I don't buy biscuits any more

I think alot of the ''cupboard stuff'' has gone up in price as you can still get good cheap fruit and veg from the markets but I miss good quality meat most of all ( Good thing my DD hasn't given up her trip to the butchers so I get spolit rotten when I visit her! )

I've stopped buying the jars of tomato pasta sauce like Ragu and Dolmio. Dolmio is £2.33 a jar now which is a ridiculous price.

I buy the Lidl version which is imo much nicer. On offer next weekend too at half price - 37p a jar!:T:T

Lidl eggs went up to 1.19 from 85p. Havent had them since.

Lurpak spreadable! Love it, but refuse to pay the full price for it. Started buying Tesco's value range. Took a wee while to get used to, but now we all enjoy it.

Toiletries - I only buy when they are on BOGOF or other similar offer, especially my L'Oreal Shampoo and conditioner. Refuse to pay almost £4 a bottle of it.

Brand name Cereals - Gotta be kellogs cornflakes. But the choc flavoured can be any brand, my DS doesn't mind

Ketchup and Sauces - Used to buy HP and Heinz. Now it's the cheapest. They seem to go through just as much of it.

i hate it when im offered corn flakes that arent kellogs but since weve been cutting costs i did try the boxed asda cornflakes and they do taste as nice as kellogs but a lot cheaper in fact we only use asda for these and their smart price midget gems and their deluxe bierre when they have any
lynsey farmfoods corn on the cobs taste better than our allotment ones im afraid to admit,give a quid for a bag tomorrow and try them
