153.9p for E10 petrol at Toomeys today.

165.9 for E10 and 194.9 for diesel at my local Texaco (which is normally the cheapest around)

I found this interesting if it does happen.

Just checked my bill and I'm in block (S).

£160.9 at Tesco Extra near Thames Drive, i'll check again tomorrow. Surprised Asda's is the price it is, they were usually cheaper than everywhere else?.

Yes T. Things have changed a bit ASDA and Jet were the cheapest for years. Then recently they were both passed by Toomeys. Jet have maintained their 2nd position, but ASDA have slipped right down, which is a surprise like you say.

Market pricing has come down substantially since Truss went - peak rate now around 4.5 to 4.75 - was over 6 a few weeks ago

I was in The Travellers Joy ( Hungry Horse ) in Rayleigh yesterday with a mate.
Pint of normal IPA & pint of Peroni ( with a lemonade top, not mine! ) was £8.90.
Not as cheap as Spoon's but cheaper than some pubs i could mention.

Mrs RHB is a serial wild bird feeder, normally she buys 12.75kg bags of seed from supermarkets or garden centres and pays anything from £7 to £14 dependent where she gets it. Yesterday she got a bag from B&Q, got home, emptied it in the big seed box, and then decided to check her receipt. For a 12.75g bag she paid £30. That will teach her to check prices at the time of purchase.

Comparable with the situation in Latvia where bird seed is around 3 Euros a kilo. Inflation rate here is 22% so all prices have gone through the roof, even cat food. Good job there are plenty of mice in the garden.

Don't get me started on cat food. You could use to pick up whiskers for £3 on offer, 3.25/3.50.tops, now you are looking at 4.59 best price and never any deals! One local shop tried charging me 5.99 so laughed and walked out!

We always use the local pet shop for our seeds as we find them far better and even better if you take your own tub to put it in

While coming back thru South Oxfordshire stopped at the Beaconsfield Services, M40, petrol was£1.95 a litre and diesel over £2.
And cars were on the pumps!
Robbing feckers!
What a mark up, 30 p a litre hiked.
Thankfully we didn't need fuel.

I see Tesco meal deals are up over 10% and have gone up 40p. Tbh its still decent value at £3.40 as got one of the Xmas selections sarnies, a lovely Thorntons chocolate brownie slice thing and a coffee.
