Exorbitant rise of anything! £50 more today than last Friday!

Cheeky B's. That is ridiculous.

lol yes ! Crafty

Christmas price then, maybe it will go down in the sale Bikergran …?

Or is that what new stock of the same product costs. If they are taking orders for Christmas, that will be new stock. the price for new stock may have gone up them as well.

Why not ask them if the one on display is still the previous display model and if it is, offer to buy that one for the previous price.

possibly, but had given up on the table as I say couldn't find suitable chairs..I was just shocked. maybe Father Christmas will surprise me lol,

Not been to Ozzie Mills for a while. Cheeky price rises though!

A couple of weeks ago I bought a couple of token Christmas presents for friends, from a garden centre. I paid £9.00 for one item and £10.95 for the other. I went back to the same garden centre today and saw the same display, same items: £13.00 for one and £14.50 for the other. Then I went to John Lewis and saw the exact same items there. £15.00 for one item and £16.50 for the other. Thank heavens I bought them when I did.

Chewbacca is John Lewis still "never knowingly undersold" because you could always ask them to reduce their price.

Regrettably not Charleygirl, JL abandoned that a while ago.

Well many items in Tesco have gone up by 10p over last few weeks. My shopping now costs £15 more than it did before all the price rises so now getting more in Aldi instead. Won't mention petrol as that is just the end! Expect bigger goods have gone up too.

Is it a different price online?

I was going to buy an item from Curry's a while ago and the online price was quite a lot cheaper than the in store price.
I challenged them and they sold me the item for the online price.

I think November 1st saw in a lot of price rises, especially in clothing, after an array of 20% discounts.
Whether retailers will discount again before Christmas, who knows, but I think it is unlikely.

Amazon is renowned for upping prices. I think it does this when the item has a lot of viewings. They think it looks popular so let's squeeze the potential buyers like a lemon.

Won’t mention the. B word, but we were told we’d have lower prices weren’t we? Instead we are headed for record inflation. Wonder why…..

I have noticed price rises on pretty much everything. Hairdresser, train fares, petrol, domestic bills ( I bet next year's council tax will be eye-watering), clothing, materials for house maintenance etc. Businesses will be trying to claw back some of the revenue lost due to Covid but I will stop and think before I buy some things from now on.

Another thing is Wood lol. Well! I have building projects to do lol.

One or two “suckers” might buy at the higher price, most will wait until the January sales when the same item will be “On Sale” at 40% discount - all sales items have to be offered at a higher price.

It’s just sales tactics, we are bombarded every week in the supermarket, ignore it if you can, just buy the quality you want at the price you want. The retailers only concern is to get you to spend as much as possible.

My husband went to look at a nearly new car at a showroom a few weeks ago. Yesterday when he went again it was £1000 more. When he asked why, they told him there was a shortage of pre-owned cars !

Supply and demand means they'll always set the highest price they think will still attract sales. Then, there's the pre-Christmas price hikes everywhere. Still, nobody holds a gun to your head and forces you to buy a single thing!

Also most people get paid a bit earlier at Christmas so there is more money in the pockets for people to spend.

My son bought a summer house earlier this year a week later the price had gone up a £100!!

I do my Aunts shopping as she is housebound,last week she asked me to pick her up a sainsburys cottage pie which cost £1 last week,this week it`s gone up to £2 a 100% increase.
And that`s not the only thing either.

With the tax rises that are coming (increased NI contributions) in people on PAYE will get hammered. Companies of all sizes - including the self employed - will simply raise their fees and prices to clients and end users to cover the deficit. It is the end consumer who will be financially reamed.

Don’t worry , we are not on our own. My family in Germany assure me prices have rocketed there too. Petrol €1.60 at least, diesel even more.Nothing to do with Brexit, because I’m sure that’s what you meant. world prices have risen since the pandemic. www.dw.com/en/world-food-prices-hit-6-year-high-amid-covid-pandemic/a-55809293
