Stuff has really gone up - Especially Food (Something I buy a lot of)
Used to get 2 lots of fish & chips delivered - It was £8 per portion = £16 - Would hand the delivery guy a £20 and tell him to keep the change.
Then suddenly its £9 per portion = £18 - I still did the same...
Today its £13 per portion! = £26 !!! And on top, they want a £3 delivery charge... That's nearly £30 for some fish n fucking chips.
I know costs are up all over, but nearly £30 for something that was £16 when I started ordering it, it simply just taking the piss. So I dont order it anymore - No huge loss to me - But a regular order a couple of times a weeks loss to the guy who sells it...
I dont like feeling that I'm having my pants pulled down, that's all...
Plus the frozen microwave meals have gone up. The ones that were £1.50 each are now 2 for £5 = £2.50 each and stuff that cost a £1 before is now £1.69 and around 100g smaller too...
I dont mind paying the extra for that food though, cause its tasty, easy & quick to cook and delivered to my door in bulk for free... The problem is though that a lot of dishes have disappeared from the menu now, as they dont wanna put the prices up any more than they have already... So there's certain stuff I can no longer get...
On the flipside though, they have started paying interest on money in my bank account again - That stopped completely a few years ago, but even the ISA's (Tax Free Savings) have started paying interest again, so not all bad... That said though I moved the maximum allowance from my isas to the 'Premium Bonds' back when they stopped paying interest, but it would take me 3 years to move it back to the ISAS now interest has started again, cause theres a maximum allowance that you can put in an isa each year... So I can only move a bit at a time...
