Andy Onchan Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 1 hour ago, Utah 01 said: I noted Tesco's 'Pilgrim Choice' cheese had increased 25p since last week. I cannot help but feel that many are profiting quite handsomely under the guise of 'inflation' while others are genuinely suffering. I agree but I think in layman's terms it's called financial arse covering! A lot of businesses are introducing price rises well ahead of raw material increases. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk has gone up 48% in Uk WTH cheese at 27% so not sure what the whining is about here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63641414 Well UK milk's certainly going up at a higher rate than at any time in the last 50 years, according to the ONS today: Why it is so dramatic is less clear. There has certainly been a sharp rise in agricultural inputs in the last few years. And the wat in Ukraine has caused grain and hence cattle feed to increase in cost. But that should have less effect in the Island because of the high percentage of grass-fed stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider a farmer's costs - these have all gone up so there's no reason why milk shouldn't also go up: Fuel, vet, electricity, labour, tractor parts etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to work out why those costs have gone up so much - the article mentions 46% in 18 months. Thtat's not reflected in other sectors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of price increases for cheese but you can safely assume that will increase. Cheese has silently risen by 30% over the past year!

No. The quality of bread/baps is well up and the price hasn’t really changed at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only products I miss are the French Toast, doorstop, sliced and the Mollenberg. Tesco have started doing some really nice olive baps, and some of the bloomers, baked with things like olives, sun dried tomatoes, cranberries, sultanas and walnuts, are really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
