The shocking price of food?!
Is it the supermarkets fault the price of food is so high!? Some things have more than doubled in price!. If it gets any higher i might have to consider using the German discount shops!. God help me!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pammy I am with you all the way! Nearly two pounds for a loaf of bread, I remember it being 70p not that long back!Disgusting isn't it!?xxWww@FoodAQ@Com
Whilst i completely agree that the amount we are having to pay for basics is ludicrous, it is not actually the fault of the Supermarkets!.
Since petrol prices have been rising, it is obviously costing more to transport the goods to various supermarkets, so the couriers etc have upped their prices to cover for fuel, hence the supermarkets have to up the goods so they are actually maing profit on them!. It is all getting completely out of hand, petrol, food, just gerneral every day living and that is without extravangances!. I just hope it slows down!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The German supermarkets are Aldi and Lidl - I've not used them, but several people I work with swear by them!. I totally agree about the cost of food!. Staples like bread and milk have skyrocketed and small items, that perhaps had cost 20p a month or so ago, are now 25p - that might not look much in terms of money - but it's a massive percentage increase and, taken across all the shopping, means that we are spending around 40% more than we were just a short while ago!. It's also more expensive in Britain than anywhere else - petrol around ￡1!.20 now - gone up from around 90p a few months ago!. The only thing that hasn't gone up is our salaries!Www@FoodAQ@Com
hard to say, as its us the consumers whos demand governs what the prices are with food, and nowadays with so much competition , supermarkets are trying their best to keep prices low, however the conspiracy theorists out there including myself believe theres some collusion withing the big supermarkets and setting bars for certain food items i know its illegal but its a win win for all the supermarkets until they get caught that is
excuse my ignorance but what are the names of these german discount shops so i can go shop thereWww@FoodAQ@Com

The price of everything has gone up, not just food!.
I agree with the poster who said it has to do with the cost of gas!.
Transporting food is costlier, water bills for crops, etc!., etc!.
We have Aldi here in the USA and it's a great store to shop at!. They have many name brand things that larger stores have for a lot cheaper!.
If you are going to complain about the price of food, then try some of the solutions rather than adding to the problem - I!.E!. grow vegetables and fruits, shop at Aldi, etc!., etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I absolutely agree!. I have had to cut things out of my grocery list just to keep the cost of food for 1 week in the $50-$60 range!. My husband and I have also stopped eating out a lot - and when we do go out, we go to cheap restaurants now too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Prices are going up on everything except for minimum wage! If they continue to raise prices on everything, why cant they raise our minimum wage also!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
What is wrong with using the German discount shops, they sell a wide range of recognised brands and in this time of rising prices you'd be insane not to try and buy cheaper, quality food!.
WHY DO PEOPLE TURN THEIR NOSES UP AT LIDL & ALDI!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Food has been too cheap for a long time when taken as a percentage of average income!.

Food is going up because of rising fuel prices, the only alternative is to start eating our friends and family,
