A few years back our weekly shop for three people was usually £30-£40 but of course it'd vary from week to week as we ran out of and bought different things.
These days prices are only going one way and some things have gone up 100% so the cost of the shopping has risen quite a bit. Last week I was chatting to the checkout lady and she said "You're lucky if you spend less than £100 these days" and on that day I spend £72 and change which was the most I'd ever spent in ASDA and the next day I spend another £20 at another shop buying stuff ASDA didn't have and the day after that I spent another £5 to complete the shopping list, so I probably just scraped in under £100.
Today I spend £99 plus change in ASDA.
Over the years I've slowly replaced most of the famous name branded products with lesser names or shop branded ones but even the shop branded stuff is going up with some even doubling in price in less than a year.
Oh and if our idiot politicians (of either party) do put fuel up 12p ltr I wonder if they're realised that the price of everything delivered by truck will also increase, yet more. Probably not.
How much are you spending?
