Food Prices Going Up. (Non political)

[Robbie 𝕏 @Robbie_NCFC]

Visited the Supermarket this morning to get some bags of flour as there may be a bread shortage due to action from the farmers.

I couldn't help but notice that food prices continue to rise. A pack of nine Cadburys chocolate bars have gone from a pack of nine to a pack of seven but still the same price £3

Also a bag of toffee have gone up from £1 to £1:35 a bag. Each individual sweet appears smaller too.

And the bag of  Chocolate raisins are now £1:50 & they were just £1 till recently. 

So it's not just that prices are going up. You are getting less for your money too. 

Anyone else notice the packaging getting smaller?

Small Easter eggs are insanely priced this year, but to some extent prices do increase every year.

All we can do is choose wisely where to shop and try to avoid spending more on items, especially those which are self-indulgent. Some people are aligned with supermarkets to the point they don't shop around, and this isn't all that smart. If you can afford to spend more on items priced cheaper elsewhere, I don't think it's a worry, but those who don't like to shop or are a bit idle just need to be wiser.

The issue does become more of a concern for people who are struggling or are disabled, but supermarkets at the end of the day know shoppers will vote with their feet, and the minority of smart shoppers is outweighed by those who will just pay regardless.

Please avoid making this political. The discussion can centre on the main topic, and efforts have already been made to keep it centred on the talking point.

Talking about Cadburys Creme Eggs

Cadbury Creme Eggs in the UK have shrunk in size and multi-packs now come with fewer eggs, while the price remains the same or even increases.

Shrinking Size:

A single Cadbury Creme Egg in the UK now weighs 34 grams, while in 1977, they weighed 39 grams.

Why do they do this? It's just a form of cheating the consumer isn't it.
