I went shopping at Sainsbug's...
Last week a packet of organic wholemeal spaghetti was 78p. Today it's 89p. Last week small tub of Yeo Valley organic natural yoghurt was 39p. Today it's 50p. Two weeks ago an organic wholemeal loaf was 89p. Today it was £1.15. A tin of organic chopped tomatoes was 45p a month ago. Today it's 85p. A bag of organic white rice was 78p last week. Today it's £1.3-bloody-9. The same price as organic Basmati (which I bought instead, since we can't do without rice).
These are basics for us. These increases are almost criminal. And it's going to go up and up.
Ken suggested turning more of the garden over to growing our own, and I think we'll have to, as with the 30% increase so far this year in our fuel prices, we won't be able to afford to eat...
