Farm Foods Price Increases

Farmfoods are increasing prices by up to 25% by decreasing the pack size.

In May 1kilo of Frozen Rhubarb was £1, now the pack size has dropped to 750g but its still £1

Thats a 25% price increase in real terms

Unfortunately, it is not only Farmfoods that are doing this. However, when their TV advert came on earlier I was aware of the price increases, but they offer 3 of the same for £10.00 (for example) to make it less noticeable. That is ok if you have a family, but not much use for 2 of you, especially if it is meat and one of you is vegetarian.

The farmfoods by me has closed down for re-furbishment and I am expecting it to be more expensive once it re-opens! Their bread offers change all the time - sometimes 2 for £1.50, sometimes 3 for £2 and the milk is the same. I only go in there for certain things - the frozen leeks, frozen stir fry, Hovis bread, kitchen rolls, Robinsons squash, WW frozen meals, WW frozen chips and sometimes the ice cream if its on a good offer. Kids love their frozen southern fried chicken but I hate buying any kind of frozen chicken products as they are generally made with Thai chicken - although I do give in now and then!
