We are all aware of the huge inflation on Freddos but what other big price increases have you noticed?

 

I just popped in Greggs to get a meat and potato pastie, £1.30 each! it was 2 for £1 not long ago.

Quantitative easing metrics always hit the common man the hardest.

The cost of shipping on my purchases of luxury items with discretionary income has gone down. Winner.

[Lee909]

The cost of US imports are fucking through tbe roof. Cost me more to get my wargames shit shipped now. I can live with tbe few additional pounds on items but the $15 shipping and tbe cunts at Royal Mail paying the import tax of £3/4 and slapping on a £10 handling charge the robbing bastards

They will bring me damn near anything for free - two days maximum - free returns.

 

I am thinking of trying out a miniature goat for the backyard.

When did light bulbs get so expensive? I was in Asda earlier and they're charging £3 for one own brand bulb.

Diesel was about to go under a £1 a few months ago but it's gone up about 10% since then.  They just do it 1/2 a pence at the time so you don't notice.  Like the frog in the pan of water

Save money by replacing all your light bubs to new energy saving LEDs which cost about three times as much.

The cost of board games continues to rise, importing from the US and Europe is becoming prohibitively expensive.

Just wait until you're paying the thieving bastard charge on stuff from Europe too.

Haha! Coming on the tail of recent horrific events my ears did prick up when I heard about that one but fortunately for me/him I'd never heard of the area

I noticed that it's gone up from 20 pence to 50 pence to put a bit of air in your tyres, now if someone can give me a better example of the cost of inflation rising than that..
