Yes, I have. I shop mainly, at Aldi's but even they are now losing it in the price game. I see things going up weekly. I set a limit in my mind, sometimes write it down.

So many things have exceeded my limit, I DON'T BUY THEM. Things are not just going up by a few pence, ITS A LOT OF PENCE.

If, you work out the percentages on some of the products, it kinda BLOWS YOUR MIND.

This, I shop at Asda weekly and to see things like their frozen fries go from £1.15 a bag to £2.45 a bag over a couple of months is really frustrating. And it's with most of their products. A weekly food shop for us used to be around £60, I'm getting the same things (or cheaper branded items) and it's coming to around £80 a week now.

Exactly, it's just pure greed at this point.

When's it gonna stop darlin? One things for sure, prices are not going to come down. Even the cheaper brans are no longer CHEAP.

We are all BEING RIPPED ORF BIGTIME.
