WE ARE conducting a very simple Food Prices exercise during 2013. Each month we will be following the prices of four staple value-range foods at the local Co-op Store on Hull Road, Hedon and following the price increases (if any) during the year.
In this continuing year of austerity, shopping carefully has become essential – particularly for those families on a tight budget.
We will be following the prices of milk, butter, bread and carrots.
| Item | Price Feb 2013 | Change from last month | Change since Jan 2013 |
| Milk – Co-op 1 pint | £0.50p | ||
| Margarine – I can’t believe it’s not butter (500g) | £1.32 | +£0.32 | +£0.32 |
| Bread – Co-op Wholemeal (800g) | £0.89 | ||
| Carrots – Co-op (500g) | £1.00 | ||
| Totals | £3.71 |
+£0.32 | +£0.32 |
I Can’t Believe that the Butter has gone up by 32p!
