Has anyone noticed yet, the increase in their weekly shop?

[fossyant]

I yellow sticker a lot, so any increases aren't biting quite as hard as they might otherwise.

What has really shot up recently though is wet cat food. Last year this time, a box of 12 pouches of Felix AGAIL could be had for £3.25 in Wilko. Now it's £4 a box wherever I look, including on Zooplus.

Finding it hard with the wet cat food. Amazon are usually £32 for 120 packs, and have an offer today for just under £26.
£4 for 12, and the 40 packs are pushing £16 in Morisons - should be £12.

We buy two 120's a month at least.

My local Chinese takeaway no longer gives a small bag of prawn crackers free with a £15+ order due to price rises

Yes we have noticed it for a while now

Ours still do and the threshold is only £10

£3.50 on a BF special at Pets at home if wanting to stock up

I've always got a good stock in. My little darlings won't starve.

Just had a quick gander and to be fair, Zooplus is the same price if I buy the boxes of 24. So it's all much of a muchness really.

Good lord, you get through a fair old bit... A box of 12 lasts the girls a week, but then they have Royal Canin dry as well...

Wilko tend to be the cheapest on the boxes of 40 if memory serves.

You can buy food for wet cats, wow that's specializing.

They have Purina One on tap too. 12 lasts just 3 meals, so a day !

Hells teeth, what have you all got, cats or prides of lions?

Sherbet fountains also up in price .
I will have to ask the missus for an increase in my pocket money

 

[cougie uk]

However, my eagle eyed missus has spotted that weights and quantities have been diminishing. Crafty buggers. You pay the same but you in fact get less for your money.

This had been going on for decades at least. I had a boss 20 years ago who had worked at Mars.
They'd slowly reduce the size of the bar and then whack it back up when they put a price increase on.

Chocolate bars are tiny now compared to what they used to be.

You probably need a microscope to eat Cadbury Miniatures now.

I noticed this a while back when buying a toblerone. They took most of the triangles out. Now there is just one triangle at each end and one in the middle. I'm pretty sure kit kats and whole nuts have become smaller too.

Bike prices have been going up for years as have car prices. A nissan micra in the late 80s was about £55500 for a basic model. IDK what they are now but a fewe years ago a toyota yaris was £18k! A langster (ss bike) was £350 in 2006 and when it was last on sales a few years ago, it was £750.

Maybe the prices have gone up more substantially as of late, but they've always been going up anyway.

Just one 5kg tortie and her blue & white "sister".

Car technology isn't the same as it was in the 80s thank god. You get a lot more on a car now.
