Do it for my daughter every week (she gives me the money) but today really struck me how the prices have gone up. Wholemeal spaghetti kicked it off and then I looked closely at the other prices . We're f*****d. This week seems to have gone through the roof. |  | | |  |

Dairy has gone a bit mad compared to what we're used to but yes, it's crept into other areas too hasn't it.
I guess pasta is an obvious one given the Ukraine situation with wheat supplies. |  |

I shop at aldi. The problem is you can't get everything from there. Fruit and veg is still the cheapest there though. [Post edited 8 Jul 2022 21:25]

I’ve gone from one extreme to the other.
Used to shop at Waitrose but now do Aldi.
Amazing value and the fresh food is fair quality.
Pasta is pennies.
Lidl is ok too but we haven’t really got a big one yet (one is being built on Cranes old site). Lidl bakery is superb. |  |

I just got back after being away for a month, and was quite shocked at how many items in my regular or occasional shop had shot up in price. Fruit & veg may partly be seasonal demand variation, but several items +25%. Several dairy items up by between 10% - 25%. |  | | |

I usually shop in Aldi Nd Lidl and prices still seem fairly good.
However, for more "regular things" I pop into our Sainsbury's local. 4 pints of milk has gone from £1.10 last year to £1.60 now. | | | |

For goodness sake, go for real proper butter, not that chemical rubbish. Slather it on crusty fresh white bread and the joys of the world are yours.
Whatever it costs, you’ll thank me for it.
Back to the OP, food is notably more expensive, but Aldi is a lot cheaper than Asda and Tesco etc (20-30%?). the quality is fine, though the meat can be iffy so we tend to avoid buying it from there. |  | | |

Ah but is it that spreadable rubbish that turns toast to mush? You used the word ‘tub’, hence my knowledge-free assumption. [Post edited 9 Jul 2022 14:16]

If you go for a drive in the country, take a look for little houses selling fruit, veg and eggs. I have been stocking up by doing this, as well as my godsend of an allotment - right now im managing to keep my supermarket spend to about £20 a week and £10-15 a week on local produce/eggs. |  |

For goodness sake, go for real granary bread, not that refined rubbish. Slather butter upon it and the joys of the world are yours.

Wrong, just wrong. I’m sure Jeera has had a rethink and now agrees that poverty bread made of sofa stuffing and the bottom of a budgie cage is just bad 😃.
Stop punishing yourself and enjoy the good things in life. | | | |

Lurpak is butter. Just butter. From milk. From cows, fed on grass.*
Lurpak spreadable is spreadable as it is butter blended with rapeseed oil.
I love rapeseed oil with a good splash of balsamic and a few thin slices of ginger.
With granary bread!
*The ads that claim their butter is better make me smile when they unveil the hidden [background] ingredient to be grass-fed cows.
Saying that, if pushed for a favourite then Cornish butter is up there for me. Lurpak is one of its more everyday affordable counterparts. Although no longer necessarily affordable apparently. | |

There was a time I would meet up with the same three mates each Wednesday evening for dinner and a couple of beers.
Just a midweek catch-up, all very civilised; we'd go to a different pub each time for a meal. Nothing fancy, usually along the lines of steak and chips kind of thing.
One was into his rugby, another golf, all of us with different job types...
One evening we're sitting there chatting and before we knew it we we comparing washing machines; brands, models, the various programmes they have...
It dawned on us that it was all over. All youth was spent. Four blokes around a table and we were discussing flipping washing machines. [Post edited 10 Jul 2022 1:24]
