Re: The energy crisis
The power and fuel costs are now feeding through in very obvious shop price hikes. Several items' I regularly buy have gone up between 9% and 14%, and some have suffered shrinkflation around 20%.
I managed to pick up a 5kg of dry penne pasta for £1/kg, whilst the store's own brand stuff starts at £1.70/kg.
The bulk sacks of rice in the ethnic aisles has now caught up with the own-brand small packs per kg.
Our gas and leccy consumption is now at its lowest average level for many years (before the twins got older and started gaming online). The mild winter certainly helped.
