      These regular inflation updates feel incredibly meaningless now. We’re all being ripped off from multiple directions, not just price increases.

      – Shrinking package sizes
      – Reduction in product quality
      – Reduction in service levels
      – Reduction in core ingredient percentage
      – Data-harvesting ‘loyalty’ schemes

      Shame gas and electricity prices are set to go up yet again. The government needs to sort this out. These companies are making billions of profits while ordinary people are shafted. It’s a fucking disgrace.

      Council tax up 5% Water bills up 20% Energy bills going up again next month. £7 for a pint. Maybe yoga classes have gotten cheaper 🤷

      Ready for payrise season, happens every year. I’ll go back up as we head out of April.

      It’s about to go up next month when the NI changes are factored into prices by companies.

      Lot of people here thinking inflation dropping to 2.8% would make things cheaper. That’s not what it means. it means it’s still getting more expensive, but not as much as last year.

      For things to get cheaper, we would need to go into negative inflation.

      Hilarious. Water up 29% for both water and drinking water, council tax up 5%, energy costs up.

      Have they employed a Venezuelan statistician?

      And yet the British public is getting shagged more then a cheap hooker on a cocaine binge.

      Its falling ummm no its still increasing just the rate of that increase is slowing, if its 3% one month and 2.8% the next you’ve still got an increase of 5.8% over two months

      Using which index? The CPI or RPI?

      Which items did they remove and replace this year to justify the figures they wanted?

      How much did they revise last years figures to show the present values?

      All this tells me is businesses make more money ’cause prices for goods and services sure as shit aren’t coming down, it’s a one-way street.

      Now I’m wondering if BG lowering my elec from £66 a month to £44 was a mistake! Gas went up to £57 though.

      Inflation down, but every single price for absolutely everything has gone up. Explain that one.
