Food: are you stocking up ahead of the imminent price rises?

Food lol. You want to be buying stuff that costs a lot of money and doesn't spoil.

Get those big ticket items in like car tyres, white goods, electronics, furniture etc. You want to buy stuff that's still in stock from before the Brexit vote.

Fine examples of things not to buy
car tyres degrade and take up a lot of space,
white goods, modern appliances last for years , the ones you have stored would have no warranty, also takes up a lot of space
electronics, by the time your old version dies the stored version would have been superceeded by a new faster version
furniture ?

EDIT, so most of the posters don't mind if prices go up, lets say 10%, but reverse it, no price rises but wages cut 10%?

I like the Aldi pot noodles they even come with a sachet of sauce which most cheap pot noodles don't. They are only 39p too. Winner!
 
I'm well stocked up on frozen mince, frozen chicken strips, pasta, curry sauces, pasta sauces, cheap baked beans, and of course Aldi pot noodles.
 
You pot noodlers are doing it wrong.

Unless you are looking for the way out and your out of ammo, there is no reason to use a pot noodle in an 'end of days' type situation.

Go to the supermarket or local oriental shop and buy yourself some Shin Cup. Its all you need :cool:
 
Food predicted to drop 6 months after brexit, as we can reduce tariffs on food lower than the EU sets. It is the EU food producers that will suffer specially France and Spain,

I'm not saying buy this stuff and store it. I'm staying get this in now rather than put it off for a few/6 months.

While the OP seems a bit OTT he has a point. Just cos most of you/us can absorb the price hikes, not everyone can easily.

I wouldn't be happy if everything i buy goes up 20% over a year. That is certainly a massive increase.

But given the demographic of the forum the answers shouldn't surprise anyone.
Still don't think you should be happy. I've lost 15% of my UK assets just to exchange rates, it sucks...

Only if you want to do anything to them. It's only comparable to something else. Have they gone anywhere? No.

With the exchange rate plummeting and the price of oil rising are you stocking up on anything?
I'm stocking up on tinned tuna chunks, small footprint, sourced overseas so likely to be affected by exchange rate and oil price rise (due to transport costs).

Because panic buying only helps push up prices :rolleyes:

Lets all buy non essential large goods now so that when the economy tanks, we can all sit in our house and spend nothing but the bare essentials... that should help all the British businesses recover and deal with the increased costs.
