A preview of what’s to come in the cost of living crisis?

[the other bob wilson]

I hear you TOBW, I'm a massive porridge fan and whilst I get a cheaper type, it's gone up. The answer almost certainly is here:

Global oat prices have more than doubled in the last 6-9 months. I'm not sure why, but presumably weather related somewhere?

Thanks for that, using that along with what Des says makes it sound like we can expect similar rises for other things in the months ahead.

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm sixty six in just over a fortnight's time, so I'll start getting the state pension. I've been thinking that would give me enough to cover the rise in utility prices and still allow me to put a few hundred pounds in savings every month to eventually pay for the jobs my house has needed done to it since I moved in nearly four years ago - maybe my "few hundred pounds" in savings every month is going to be nothing of the sort?
