You mean the bread flour BB? I did notice that, yes. Haven't noticed the sugar, because to be honest, I probably have about 20k sat in the cupboard *blushes*

I'm a hoarder anyway and tend to buy stuff for the cupboard when it's on special offer. I joke to DH that he'll never starve in this house....

We use very little sugar as neither of us take it, I only buy it for baking with.

I am glad to say I am quids in because of my mountainous stockcupboard. I have enough to keep us going for several months and that includes sources for cooking, lighting and radio. It has been a good way to save and I am still topping up with long dated/no dated items in tins

I am a great advocate of being well stocked-up with things. Its one way of helping to cope a bit with inflation and ensures one has always got food to eat even if too ill or busy to shop for it.

However - basically, at a societal level, I see households being well stocked-up with everything as something that is necessary for us all - as a way to help us "transition" over to other ways of providing ourselves with food - eg Community Supported Agriculture/Gardenshare schemes/Grow Your Own etc. Ultimately - to me being well stocked-up with food can only ever be a short-term alternative - something to provide ourselves with a "cushion" to help in tiding us over to this.

I'll add this to the thread we already have on rising food prices.

We're about to start the new fruit and vegetable growing year, so that'll soften the F&V bill somewhat

I noticed recently that smart price items like tuna rocketed in price -before christmas it was 23p a tin and now it is 55p, SP prawns went from 80p to £1.17!!!

A weekly bill of £30 was £40 this week with no luxury items..

My OH only eats Red delicous apples and they have gone up to £1.88 a bag in Morrisons (4p in the last 2 weeks alone) and they were £1.48 a bag 5 months ago.
