Increase in food and takeaway food prices!

Bit concerning you’ve been in Costco again mate, I hope you weren’t there to look at the TV deals! 😉

Didn’t even look at the TVs - first time ever! Went straight to the lens wipes. 🙂

Make my own burgers and Southern Fried chicken. Much better (and fresher tasting) than any takeaway.

Beef an lentil burger. No breadcrumbs & egg.

And my triple cooked chips.

Bought normal cod and medium chips (to share) and scampi last night for me and my dad and it cost £29 off Ulber Eats to be delivered from the next estate!

Sounds like the old diet's going well then 😉

It is mate. 14 stone now from 16 stone. That’s about average for my age and height in the UK. 😎. Yes, I am done with the diet now but will keep my intake to a minimum. Just about eating sensibly and doing the things I have learnt on here and which I have learnt along the way.

My fitness and heath ladies were attending a conference on health for people with mental illness and they wanted me to do a speech because they were so pleased with me. Couldn’t quite cope with going but I typed out a speech and gave it to them. I will be finding out this Tuesday for my injection how it went.

Excellent 👍
I'm pleased for you.

Visited our village butchers and greengrocers. Much cheaper than the supermarkets

3 x chicken legs; 6 x rashers of streaky bacon; 1 x large sausage roll

3 x large portobello mushrooms
1 x celeriac (Zombie brain)
3 x medium carrots
1 x bag of fresh rosemary

Marinated the chicken in garlic, turmeric, juice of half a lemon, rosemary & thyme & olive oil.

Cooked with onions, little passata and served with frozen veg

That lot from the butchers and greengrocers came to just a tad over a tenner. Two days meals

My gob has been well and truly smacked and my flabber utterly ghasted - the Co-op's excellent farmhouse wholemeal, of which I have just bought three, has fallen from a quid to 85p.

Almost felt the need to have a receipt so that I could prove I wasn't delusional...

Our local Co-op really hiked the price on 240 Tetley tea bags to £8. A couple of weeks later they dropped the price £5 and it's gone back to £8. Confused? I am.

I’m sure it’s an acknowledged marketing strategy. At some point you’ll probably want tea bags, recall the reduced price, and do a shop there. Or perhaps it’s just stock with a limited shelf life they need to offload.

When I was young I always thought the Co-Op was more budget oriented, as my Gran used to shop there, but these days their prices are more in line with Waitrose.

Sometimes it's dictated by the manufacturer - Tyrrell's being a case in point.

Just stumbled upon this forum and couldn't resist chiming in. So, here's the scoop: I've recently jumped on the DIY food train due to the crazy increase in takeaway prices. My go-to? Homemade beef and lentil burgers, sans breadcrumbs and egg – keeping it all-natural, you know? They're not just budget-friendly but also fresher and tastier than any fast-food joint. Oh, and don't get me started on my triple-cooked chips – crispy heaven! Who else is embracing the natural foods vibe? Excited to swap recipes and tips with you all – new on this forum and ready to dive into the foodie goodness!
