maqroll Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Cauliflower, if you can find it, is $8.99 USD a head!! My go-to pasta brand just went up in price by 50 cents. And honey is now almost as expensive as maple syrup.  My monthly grocery bill is shocking.

El Zen Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I feel it here in Norway too. What a time to be alive! I try not to look at the prices and think about it too much, but I do find myself buying the bare minimum I need to feed myself decent food through the week and plan my shopping down to detail so as to not shop on impulse and spend unnecessarily. Edited November 26, 2022 by El Zen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Same in the UK, it feels like food inflation is far higher than the general figures around 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Groceries are up 17% on average in Sweden compared to last year. It's a few % higher than Norway and Denmark apparently for some reason. Sweden is a large country (as in it's a long way from north to south) so transports are expensive. The absurd electric prices and the cost for refrigerating and so on for stores has obviously gone up a lot too. Pretty sure many grocery chains are also adding a few % on the prices as well just to make a little more while they are at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMIRITE? Seriously though, that is a crazy price! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I never really take that much notice of individual prices, but my weekly shop has definitely increased substantially over the last couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Food shopping is our biggest bill here, it’s costing a fortune to feed us all each week. Things aren’t going up by a few pence anymore, it’s in 30p, 50p, 75p increments. On a big shop it’s a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
