Past price increase!

I went to buy a 3kg bag of pasta in Asda yesterday and it has gone up from £1 to £2.20. That's a huge increase and even though I know it's more economical to buy it like this it was a bit of a shock!

    Isn't it because of the price of grain has gone up which is why milk and bread have gone up too (milk due to the cost of animal feed grain)? Shocking price increase though!
  • The Tesco one has gone from £1 to £1.49 to £1.99 now all in a couple of weeks.

    I actually gave a big bag to my mum as she was close to running out. I then noticed last night that it was up to £1.99! That really is an awful increase in such a short space of time.

    yes, wheat prices have been soaring on the Futures markets: they have come down slightly, but expect more increases i would say...the cost of a 400g Hovis wholemeal loaf is 68pence from Asda!
