Are you worried by rising food prices?

According to the Daily Mail, food costs are rising at 15.5 per cent a year. Their estimate comes in at more than six times the official rate. Petrol, gas and electricity are also showing huge increases in costs. Are you worried? What do you think the government should do to tackle this? Are they failing you?

    Went to Asda today bread £1.48 yesterday £1.00. Cheese £1.68 was £1.48 suddenly in days everything has boomed in price - why?
    Went Sainsbury's and many prices are same as Asda or LESS so how do they get away with it under Trades Description Act calling themselves 'cheap' supermarket - LIARS. Sainsbury's are much better quality to boot!

    I don't drink and I don't smoke. I'm also a vegetarian and I have found that I eat better and cheaper than a lot of meat eaters who tend to buy lots of preprepared food which costs a lot more anyway. The more times food is processed (the more times it is handled) then the greater the combined increase. If you're going to eat meat then eat proper meat and not burgers etc. Eat fresh and eat cheaper. Eta preprepared and packaged and you not only pay more for the processing, you pay more to get rid of the wrappers.

    There is a lady from High Wycombe on the `are we heading for a recession` forum stating that she shops at Tescos and her bill has not gone up at all. I suggest she is shopping on Uranus.
