There's still time to stock up on food and other essentials

[Organ Morgan.]

Other than butter, I haven't noticed a great leap in the price of anything else in my shopping trolley.

Yank discussion forums I visit are filled with threads complaining of prices of all foodstuffs rising 30-50% during the past six months. They are also up in arms about rental costs, plus that of energy of course.

I have.

Just back from the weekly shop and loads of items have jumped up - especially fresh food.

Also agree with a comment you made on another thread - fewer people in the shops than a month ago. 'Cost Of Living Crisis' really biting. However, did a 450 mile round trip a few days ago from South Yorkshire to South Wales via Coventry and Evesham - covering peak and non-peak times, and no sense of fewer cars on the road despite the petrol price going through the roof.
