Re: prices going up with a bang
I hadn't noticed. I do my shopping online so I just tend to go down my list of usual items, clicking the things I want to re-order. I only look at the total, not the individual items. 20p is quite a lot for something to go up by all at once isn't it? All these 20ps will add up to quite a bit.

Re: prices going up with a bang
I can't say I've been taking a lot of notice but I will certainly have my eye on the ball on Thursday when I go to Asda. Forewarned is forearmed or so they say.

Re: prices going up with a bang
Why would the floods have affected the price of these items??.. I don't recall seeing floating dead cows or hens during the flood, so why should butter and eggs soar in price? (edit).. I thinks it's the "poor" farmers pulling a fast one to make a few quid for xmas!

Re: prices going up with a bang
one big reason for the worldwide price increases (not just in the UK) is that many farmers have jumped onto the bio diesel bandwagon , and are switching crops , dairy prices are going thru the roof because of a new Chinese Govt. policy of requiring milk to be available for all school children , they have the money to buy up supplies worldwide because they are making so much foriegn exchange on the cheap rubbish that the west buys .
