Did my first lot of food shopping today since I got back. Didn't buy an enormous amount as I was restricted by what I can carry on the Clockwork Banana but this was the first time I've shopped at Morrisons since I went off cruising, and I can't believe how much everything has gone up.
Sliced deli ham, was £1 for four slices, now £1.25 for three (same-sized) slices. 60% increase.
Six pack Tayto cheese and onion crisps, was £1, now £1.60. 60% increase.
450g pack chicken drumsticks, was £2.50, now £3.20. 28% increase.
Also bought some wonderful Perla Mocna from the Asian-owned convenience store. Was £5 for four cans, now £7. 40% increase.
These were just a few of the increases I spotted in less than four months. Think there are very hard times ahead for many.

True enough. I have been giving serious consideration to working out a weekly menu for £20.00. It's strange to think some folks are already trying to feed a family on that budget.
The bread and butter pudding recipe was better than expected even if it did call for wanton extravagance on things like vanilla essence and cinnamon.

me too ...... it's not fair, I'm still on a diet ....... 6 months so far and I am getting very bored of it.
The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that, even if pitifully slowly, the weight is still coming off

Two years of not running ... I just get fatter and rounder ☹️
Fortunately my boyish good looks and hints of silver at the temples, overcomes this slightly roly poly appearance.
Oh bugger ... roly poly ... now look what I've done.
