Grocery Price Increases - What's the Biggest Hike You've Seen?

YorksLass

Not any one item in particular, but 12 items in tomorrow's grocery delivery have gone up since I last bought them (total of £3.02) - even a tin of basics baked beans has gone up by 4p.

If you use a Sainsburys credit card you'll find from 1st November you'll earn less Nectar points than now - just 1 point for each full £2 spent in Sainsburys/Argos/Habitat and 1 point for other outlets that are part of the scheme.

I get a tickly cough with all the dust in the house because of the building work. I buy Jakemans cough sweets in Savers. Previously these were 130g for 59p.  The packaging has been changed, and now you can buy 73g for £1 or 160g for £1.79. Shocking.

Asda have increased the price of 72 Weetabix from £5.75 to £6.50. I had them on my order last week but they were out of stock which makes it more annoying

Tesco own brand low fat hot chocolate, last time got one £1.60, stocking up for Winter now and it's £2.15.

I commented earlier on the thread that Bold camomile 57 washes had increased from 7.00 to 7.99
Went to buy this morning and it’s now 8.50

Seriously, consider swapping to their own brand or down to essentials. I used to be a Weetabix fan but find the own brand alternatives OK, the Essentials one is crumblier but otherwise tasted the same to me, cold milk & sugar added

I have put the Asda own brand one on my order for next week. Not the essentials one, thought I would try the other one 1st.

I used to get cake slices in Asda as a treat for the grandkids. Often Mr Kipling on offer for a pound. Otherwise asda for 95p.
Today I noticed some new packaging - and they only contain 5 slices for £1.75. There are still some old-style with 6 in for £1.50but the cake slices were reduced in size!
Can't see me making bread pudding either - suet is £1.80!!!

I've never used suet in a BP, not sure what recipe you use, but loads of bread pudding recipes without suet.

Suet? Bread pudding is simply milk sugar fruit, butter and egg?
