As someone like me who works in a grocery store I can say that it has it`s perks since I can buy food a little bit cheaper than everyone else so the price of food is nothing I can complain about.

You got the trash dumps behind the grocery store too! At least that's where I go for a few bargains.


Pickin's ain't much better out there, nutrition-wise, but at least it's cheaper. smile

Yeah, I understand that. With the store I work at, I get a 10% discount on our store-brand products, which certainly helps alleviate how much you have to pay for food.

Never mind the cost of food... its got nothing on the obscene cost of insurance!!!!

My car quote from AA , 401 quid last year n renewal was 601!!!

200 quid up !! 50% increase??.

That's just legalised banditry.

So I went gocompare, got 480, so rang the AA to tell them to poke it.

Even so, its gone insane.

Same thing has happened to me Bill, pretty much exactly the same as your quote! What is that all about, what's the reasons for it? I don't have to renew until the end of the month, so I'm still looking around.

Insurance never needs an excuse to add on ludicrous telephone numbers.
I even found the quote on gocompare at first matched at the insurers website, but then it suddenly went up 60 quid. And u have to watch the constantly-changing excess total and the sneaky limitations on legal cover. Its almost like the betting algorithms on bet sites, one near miss in a match and a 6 to 1 becomes 13 to 8 in front of your eyes.

Just large company cheating and rip offs.
The days of looking after customers are long gone, its a brazen con and customers are no more than mugging victims.

It's not just insurance, it's widespread.

"For the second year in a row, U.S. shoppers are seeing double-digit inflation in the candy aisle. Candy and gum prices are up an average of 13% this month compared to last October, more than double the 6% increase in all grocery prices, according to Datasembly, a retail price tracker. That’s on top of a 14% increase in candy and gum prices in October 2022."

I’d have said a “sugar tax” would be good news, if a hike reduces consumption. Ditto alcohol, tobacco and firearms?

There's been a huge tax on tobacco for decades. Someone recently told me a carton of cigarettes is like $100 dollars!

You Brits better fight privatized medicine like its Germany at your doorsteps. Or you'll find out what its like to live in America.
We have legalized private insurance scams that are extraordinarily expensive, offer little in return and you have to pay into it by law.

Frozen juice, in the last month or so, leaped from $1.99 to $2.49.

Yipes!

Anybody else noticing any spikes in price?


The bargain brand is gone AGAIN.

And the regular brand is $2.99.


Bargain brand is $3.09.
