November Inflation Result

Now down to 3.9%


[Inflation stood at 3.9% last month,
according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS),
a dramatic fall from the 4.6% recorded
a month earlier.]

[It's just under double the 2% target aimed
for by policymakers at the Bank of England.
Such highs are why the central bank
said it is too early to talk about cutting interest rates
which have made the cost of borrowing
more expensive in an
attempt to bring inflation down.]

It's the same old story. Inflation 'down' but prices going up still.

I paid £3.80 for Aunt Bessie's roast potatoes today. They were £3.50 last week.

Food inflation still very high at 9.2.
We won't hear much of that from Sunak.

Petrol prices about to soar apparently

Yes not nice,
Leave Gusto's Roast Potatoes Price, alone.

Prices are still rising and won't reduce (except fuel prices), it's just the rate of rise that is slowing

GREED, basically.

I see the £1 Sausage and Mash frozen dinner down from 400g to 300g.

Price remains the same. But shrinkflation in place.

That's happening across the board on so many things.

Great news. Also, minimum wage is going up next month

Got an email offer of £145/month Direct Debit to switch to EDF on a 2-year fix and after paying approx £230 - £270 all winter this year I can't say I'm not sorely tempted but it might go down further ... do I commit or not??

I would say yes, your bills are HIGH

It's 70% leccy and I've never been able to figure out why. Neighbours are probably leeching our supply or something. I wouldn't be all that surprised.

It's still a good bit less than the all time high of £410 for December 2022 (and that was after the £67 reduction or whatever it was).

Yes your bills are very high. It's not usually that much. I would investigate that.
