I have a good memory for prices - it makes it much easier to recognise the bargains which many others easily miss.Yesterday was shopping day at Morrisons and, on this occasion, I studied a whole range of prices of basic goods under their own labels and was able to compare price changes over the last year. It was horrific - particularly if you looked not so much at the pennies added, but rather at the percentage increases.
A small can of peas from 14p to 19p as just one example. That is FIFTY per cent! This is not untypical. 30%+ is extremely common.
Little wonder that I cannot trust this government's published figures on inflation!
