I came to the UK in 2004. At that time, I remembered that I could buy 18 eggs for 99p in LUTON ’s MALL. Of course, it was unlikely to be the kind of better eggs (Free Range, free-range or Corn Fed chickens that grew up on corn). , The cheapest price for 10 eggs in Tesco today is just over £2. Not to mention the slightly better eggs.
At that time, I just arrived in the UK and lived in the College House apartment next to the university. There was no internet, and I walked to the school library for free internet access in 4 minutes. I go to Tesco to buy groceries every week, about 20 pounds can be enough for one person to eat for a week, usually a bag of Long Grain rice, 1kg was about 40p at the time (it is about 2 pounds now, especially since the price of rice has increased a lot since last year Last year, 10kg of Northeast rice was 18 pounds, and now the same rice and the same packaging cost 23 pounds at the cheapest price), in my impression, I bought the frozen chicken legs, about 18 pieces, which was more than 2 pounds at the time, and now there are still 18 frozen chicken legs. The price is £4.50.
TESCO 2004, this pack of 18 frozen chicken legs is about less than 3 pounds 2023 4.5 pounds
In the past few years, life has gotten better and better, and I have a family with two children. I went to TESCO supermarket on weekends to buy rations for a family of four for a week. Last year, it cost about 100 pounds. Wages have not risen much, prices have risen, and Britain is in dire straits.
No wonder the energy crisis since the Russo-Ukraine War last year has had the greatest impact on many ordinary people who are struggling on the poverty line. Inflation suddenly exceeded 10%, and the Bank of England raised interest rates again. If you have a mortgage, you will have to pay the bank hundreds of pounds more interest every month. Misfortunes never come singly.
Increase income and reduce expenditure, but I am poor, so I can only downgrade consumption, or go to cheaper supermarkets such as Asda, Aldi or Lidl.
Last year, it was about 100 pounds, but this year it was about 200 pounds.
