Seen elsewhere on social media large tubs of butter are now over £7 in supermarkets. Cheese is also really expensive! No matter what you buy it seems to be increasing almost daily! Bread is another almost daily increase. |

Bread is another almost daily increase. Everything food related has gone up at least 2-3 times over the last few months and will continue to do so. A 4 pint milk could end up hitting £1.70 at some point having been roughly £1.09-£1.15 earlier this year |

I'm actually fuming. Fuel that usually cost me about 50 pounds to fill up. How can I top up nearly 90 pounds and already it's gone down to empty quickly. This is madness and they keep upping the prices. How the [redacted] are people supposed to live like this. This is [redacted] [redacted]

This is [redacted] [redacted] Get ready for the Autumn when the next energy price increases kick in! A lot have put it to the back of their minds as it’s Summer but it’s going to be awful. Going back to petrol prices I can’t ever see them returning to the levels they were despite what some say. The 2020s seem to go from once crisis to the next. |

Genuine question btw as I don’t know what you use your car for 😉 I would use public transport if I didn't have to start work early in the morning and to get to my workplace using Public transport is somewhat tricky to do especially as the timings are not great. Now if I started work much later then of course I would 😎 |

The problem with owning a car and choosing to use public transport even if part of the time is the other costs apart from petrol. My insurance is £50 and tax £20 a month so I have to pay £70.00 before I even start even if the car is parked up.

It is July's figure that will be used, so hopefully we will see a bit of a drop next month But we are still at RPI +1% so I’m expecting at least a 12% increase. For a bus fare that could at least 20p extra to £1.85 |
