And yet the only politicians with some direct experience/understanding of this are in Labour. Not the Tory party. Because the Conservatives exist to conserve the interests of the wealthy, and Labour exist to advance the interests of the poor, the marginalised, and the mass of the population. And this situation will persist until enough people wake up, realise that, and stop voting for the Tories.

The same thing is happening here in the US. The price of EVERYTHING from food, gas, rent, houses, healthcare is sky high & people are really suffering.

If you’re a prospective first-time homebuyer hoping (or praying) home prices will decline in 2022, don’t count on it. If people are waiting for a price to decline, well, it’s not going to happen. Heading into the spring of 2022, mortgage rates have increased over a full percentage point and while purchase demand has cooled, it remains firm. Supply remains near record lows, so home price growth is expected to remain high through the spring homebuying season before cooling off later this year as mortgage rates continue to rise.

Lunch is a free soup made with scraps that might be tossed by some--we save the scraps in the freezer. Dinner could be a lovely Thai inspired coconut curry made with peanut butter, chickpeas, vegetables, and secret spices served over Basmati rice (6 servings for less than 33 cents USD per serving), with cole slaw in Asian dressing on the side. Dessert would be homemade brownies or chocolate chip cookies. Other nights we might stretch a can of salmon in a salmon loaf and use the broth in a salmon soup. Or I'll make a large batch of salmon patties from two cans (reserving the broth for soup) and freezing the patties for quick meals. The salmon patties are good with a maple-blueberry reduction sauce or in a home baked bun with spinach, onion, and tomato from the garden. I like to slightly dehydrate and freeze chopped red tomatoes from the garden to put a diced tomato relish on the bun in the winter. There are so many ways to stretch the food budget. Some just need a little extra prep. Don't pay corporations to prep your food!

Cost of living is high everywhere. Honestly I don’t know how long this can keep going

And it's literally the work of the BBC that has helped bring forth this situation.

Same here in the US. Our cost of living has skyrocketed. As wages remain frozen, cost of living keeps going up and up. There is no balance at all. Either you have money or no money. No more in-between. Who it effects the most, the middle class people. Where we make too much for benefits and have to little to afford a comfortable living.

Eating enough helps your body stay warm too. So, try to compromise to the extent that you still can. It's a bloody Catch-22 but try to avoid starving yourself. (I know what I am talking about. I have just totally stuffed myself. Yesterday evening. Two bowls of porridge and a big ton of pasta with tomato puree. Because I could and had not been able to do that for a while and then I had a shower because I had not had warm water in a few months and my muscles felt all knotted up and I had not had a shower the day before I had not had one in the morning either. When I survive on little for a while, and then have a little money, I sometimes find myself doing these things. Like eating 6 or 8 rolls - bought on discount of course - or several plates of spaghetti - always the 20p kind of course and nothing added to the pasta of course, no veggies or meat or fish - and I can't rule out that this is something purely biological.) What I have done is put a mylar thermal blanket under my bedsheet - but be careful with that as it can cause condensation which could lead to mould growth - and I wear fluffy socks in bed. If my ankles are exposed - not covered by fabric - I wear so-called "leg warmers" too. And I often have a fleece blanket - a Christmas one that I bought at Asda right after Christmas - or a scarf around my neck and shoulders. All these little bits help me stay warm. Sometimes, when it is really really really cold, even indoors, I wear a hat, lol.

@ragerancher

@@Tom-tp1jv I strongly doubt inflation has only risen by 48% since 2007. Prices for most basic commodities has gone up by much more. I could survive on £10 food costs per week back in 2014. Now I'd say that is around £20+ for a similar shop. That would put my food shop at an annual rate of 10% inflation. A £9 minimum wage would be the equivalent of 3.3% inflation per year. Most comparisons of stuff you buy in supermarkets indicate inflation running into the 100's over 10 year periods.

We were on a good deal for our gas and electric but both suppliers went bust, we were auto switched to the suppliers of last resort and cost has shot up as a result. It's put a lot of pressure on our finances and the only thing to do is not have the heating on (or only when it gets very cold), not great but not a lot of choice. Have also noticed food prices increasing so finances under pressure from all directions. Not looking forward to the tax increases.
