'I repeated my Tesco big shop from 12 months ago - one item is up 75 per cent despite having shrunk'
Sky high food prices are nothing new, but with bills still on the rise, shoppers are wondering whether it will ever end.The cost of living crisis began at the back end of 2021, so for many people they've seen their bills soar over the last 18 months.
I knew that many of the products would have risen, but I was staggered to discover that 78% of what I bought had gone up. I'm probably not the only one who's cut back on these sorts of products since the crisis began. I wouldn't have bought them this time if it wasn't for the purpose of doing a comparison.
The other largest increases were on sauces - Lloyd Grossman's Tikka Masala Sauce, up 50% from £2 to £3 and Tesco's own Tomato & Herb Pizza Sauce, also up 50%, from £1.10 to £1.65.The items costing less this time around was mostly because of Clubcard offers. Without the Clubcard, a further four products would have cost more than last June.Last year a 1kg bag of carrots cost 43p. Whereas now it's an 800g bag for 44p.
