Our monthly grocery spend for 2 adults and 2 kids:

Was just shy of £500p/m ~4 years ago. Pushing up to £700p/m now. Definitely noticing it. Our shopping habits have stayed broadly the same. There's a few dishes that are too expensive now so we don't bother with those (mainly those involving expensive cuts of meat/fish).

But wait, you mean the great deals you can get currently on luxury yachts are not contributing to reducing your normal day to say spending?


.....you peasant, you.
 
Cost of living crisis my ****. Shops are full of Halloween even one with shelves of Christmas tat. They appear to be doing solid business even though it is September according to my diary.

No wonder the climate is changing, it probably does not know what season to represent.

Thats how a basket of goods works. If you dig down food inflation has been higher than headline CPI, or even RPI and as people feel food inflation everyday its no wonder they feel inflation is worse than the headline numbers.
