Honestly still haven’t seen any real difference shopping at Aldi in the UK. Food is still cheap enough that it may as well be a rounding error on our monthly budget. The only thing cheaper is water.
Ah, so the article is intentionally misleading by using a single months data as if it represents a whole year. Also April is the start of a new financial year so not exactly unsurprising to see it being higher for price increases.
Well, yes and no. I see how the figure can be confusing and misunderstood. A nearly 4% price increase usually happens over the course of a year or two and it has happened in a single month, which is the point of the article.
When is that going to happen though? Not really noticed much change, my weekly Aldi shop still costs under £15 each.
soon, because the food you get in grocery stores is farmed via equipment that uses lots of diesel. it’s sadly a very safe prediction to make.
I’d like to direct your attention here

Well, that’s good. Even if it is 44% annualized or whatever the article said, that only means like 4% in a month. For your 15 bill that’s like 0.50
