Outrageous price hike

I thought of you last night Shinamae. I was at the edge of a field in the middle of nowhere, and scrabbled for my poo bag roll - then remembered it was on the kitchen table. Found a big dock leaf, and had to lob it into the dense undergrowth!

Lots of places have biodegradable poo bags. They don’t seem to have gone up recently.

Pets at Home have degradable bags for £1.50 for 200. On 4 for 3 offer at the moment if anyone’s interested.

I’m not sure why I’m googling dog poo bags when I don’t have a dog (putting off the jobs I should be doing probably)! I’m now resisting the urge to google degradable nappy bags when I don’t have a baby…..

Will certainly look at the pets at home bags,thanks ..

maggiemaybe always handy to have put the research in 'just in case'!

Beetroot took a hike in price here recently but is now coming down again - seasonal variation I guess.

Funny I have found it the other way round. The biodegradable dog poo bags I use ( came free from Lily’s kitchen with a purchase of 25% off dog food) are far more serviceable than the cheap nappy ones from Sainsbury’s. They are bigger and feel stronger and I don’t run the risk of it spilling out on my hands - my dog is a lab with large doggie do doos. Guess you have to shop around.

I have tried the actual poo bags but found they were too small and the nappy bags are quite a bit bigger and far more suitable..

Tesco actually have dog poo bags - £1 for 100 degradable bags

Maybe they are made from plastic which is based on oil and oil prices have rocketed. Better for the environment to buy biodegradable bags.

I think I do my bit for the environment as I don’t fly and I don’t drive..

A lot of things gone up by 50p I've noticed.
I usually do an Iceland order every now and then. I went on their website a couple of nights ago and couldn't believe how much things had gone up. Utterly Butterly gone up 60p, I can buy that from B&M for £1.10 Iceland selling frozen cream doughnuts £2.00 Tesco and B&M £1.00. I could go on...
Needless to say I didn't bother.

The supermarkets are putting the prices up because they can. They know we want or need the products so we will pay.
We don't have a choice unless we give up even the bare necessities of life.
It's our young families I worry about now with the interest rates and the cost of living.
This reminds me of the late 80s when the mortgage rate went up to 15%. What a difficult time it was for everyone.

Yes prices are on the up. A cucumber in Aldi a couple of weeks ago was 43p. This week it was 55p.

And they are made in Thailand.

So true timetogo. There is only so much you can cut down on,

Dh and i have noticed for sometime now that prices of most items in supermarkets have inceased.
A few examples are..Clover spread was £1,50 now £2,50
All fruit and veg ,bread/cheese/milk to name but a few.
We shall be cutting down on certain things but god knows what as we don`t indulge in anything tbh.
And lets not mention fuel eh.

We buy the my little star 100 nappy sacks for ours and yes they have gone up a tremendous amount I’m sure they were 2 packs for around 1.25 , they are now 2 for £2!

Yes Shinamae, I went food shopping the other day and I noticed a lot of odd increases. I have been meaning to meal plan for weeks so I can make the most of what I buy, must do it today, keep putting it off.
