Not buying any stocks. No room for it as I'm a lodger and so only have 1 wall cupboard for everything (including plates/cookware).

Honey will go up, bee failure.
Flour, wheat failure. Flour's in a lot of processed things too.

Sorry to say but pretty much every thing.
There's been a bad grain crop so not only the grains we use, but also animal feed so meat will go up. Fruit and veggies are in then news today and we already know about the heating price rises

I am with dandy candy, basically everything will go up.

Grain harvest , flour, pasta, bread anything that contains flour will be more expensive
Corn harvest, sweetcorn, cooking oil, animal feed which means all meat and poultry, milk, cheese etc will be a lot more expensive
Tea harvest
Cacao, chocolate

I am filling my freezer with as much meat and frozen veg as I can afford. I have also added to my stock cupboard as well.

Nothing. Sorry if the view offends anyone.

On other threads they are predicting tinned veg especially tinned potatoes will be going up. I would buy these whilst at 19p but I can't think of anyway that would induce me to eat them!!

They are quite nice in a frittata/spanish omelette, sliced thinly.

I'm afraid I think everything is going to go up too

Stockpile the things you eat regularly that will keep.

(the tinned potatoes are actually not bad at all when thinly sliced and fried in butter - I roasted some along with a chicken recently and altho they weren't too bad smothered in thick gravy, they wouldn't be my first choice!)

Alex, as Orkney suggests they are nice thinly sliced in a frittata type thing.

Also I've heard in casseroles, which I haven't yet tried.

Otherwise I must admit I wouldn't touch them...I have several tins because they are convenient/quick but only recently as I wouldn't touch them before. But disguised in something else they are ok.

Stockpile what you use most of, when you find it at a good price. Otherwise don't bother, no point in having cupboards full of full price food of a type you hardly ever eat. I don't bother with tinned fish apart from tuna for example because it's just not something we like but on the other hand I have a LOT of tinned tomatoes because they're currently on a 25p a tin in Tesco.

Something else to worry about, whilst here I have room for my food store but someone said if you move to a smaller property you may not have room for it, I hope I do(I should get 10 crates of food into another property? I hope so...I don't care if it's on show and not hidden away if it saves me money.

As long as I have enough room for my kitchen gadgets, PC's and some CD's/books and a bed I'll manage...then again that's as long as they don't make me destitute so I don't even have a roof over my head...

But I am still not planning on leaving if I have anything to do with it...Hope my lottery numbers come up...I'd rather win the Euromillions:p
