As in manufacturing plants(eg Fertilizer manufacturing which produces food grade CO2 as a by-product, Steel plants).
I said "manufactured". The cost to the seller will have been set months ago, before more recent cost increases. Although some of them might still start to filter through.
Your initial response(post #84) about buying for lower prices was in connection to food prices.

Re: Rising cost of living
Inflation actually dropped today, as the recent rise was not demand led, it was supply led. Inflation looks like it may yoyo around for several months whilst the global supply chain evens itself out.

A 0.1 drop is hardly earth-shattering. In part, all it means is that some price increases of August last year were higher than increases in August of this year. Then the very recent increases(eg gas and electric) have yet feed in.

Quote:
The increase in the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Prices Index, fell to 3.1% in the year to September, down from 3.2% in August.
Higher prices for transport were the biggest contributor to price rises.
It comes after the Bank of England warned it "will have to act" over rising inflation, suggesting interest rates may rise soon.
The inflation rate fell back slightly last month because prices in restaurants rose less this August than last August when the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme was running, the Office for National Statistics said.

Re: Rising cost of living
Which month's CPI is used to set Benefits and Pension increases?
Or is Rishi about to drop them back to "austerity" levels of 0%

Re: Rising cost of living
If ever state pensioners needed the triple lock, it's now.

..however, the triple lock has been suspended for pensioners, so benefits might again be frozen or uprated below inflation.

He's right. You can't spend money if the shelves are empty.

Maybe he expects people to send their Butler to Aldi now rather than Fortnum and Masons for that big saving.
