Food Prices Have Exploded in Britain… And Nothing Is Stopping It

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Quick one. How do people afford to eat nowadays with the price of everything?

[00:00:04]>> So supermarkets keep increasing the prices on a weekly basis.

[00:00:08]>> It's just mental now. Like the cost of everything is just crazy.

[00:00:13]>> Like it's just so normalized to go to a grocery store and literally panic every time you go grocery shopping.

[00:00:18]>> This is survival mode. The way this country is going down the shutter. Yeah.

[00:00:24]The price of things is outrageous.

[00:00:29]We can't even afford food now. Is it the cost of living or is it the cost of greed?

[00:00:35]>> It's absolutely ridiculous. How are you supposed How are you supposed to like survive?

[00:00:41]>> Well, here I am. And why are the tomatoes £5?

[00:00:47]>> £5 for a multiack of beans? What the actual? Because that is extortionate.

[00:00:54]>> [ __ ] £10. The cost of living is absolutely out of control at the moment.

[00:00:59]M >> at what point are we going to stop calling this a cost of living crisis and start calling it what it actually is?

[00:01:07]>> You guys call it cost of living crisis all you want. I'm calling it cost of greed crisis.

[00:01:12]>> So they keep calling it a new cost of living crisis. How can it be new when we never got out of the old one?

[00:01:18]>> Cuz I'm watching families struggle and cut back. But do you know what big supermarkets and companies have done?

[00:01:24]They have announced record profits.

[00:01:27]>> Do the math. It's not m nothing. This country is outrageous.

[00:01:32]>> Where's it going to be in the next 5 years if we carry on like this? It is just getting silly. Somebody needs to step in.

[00:01:39]>> And it's literally going to get worse.

[00:01:41]It's going to get worse. And I don't want to sit here and be like hopelessness, but it's not it's not going to get any better.

[00:01:49]>> Welcome back to Broken Britain. Before we start today's video, quick update for everyone. As some of you noticed, upload suddenly stopped for a few days. That's because I was involved in an accident recently and ended up with a few physical injuries, including a head injury. Thankfully, nothing life-threatening. But I needed some proper recovery time away from screens and editing. But now I'm back, and honestly, coming back to Britain's current situation somehow makes everything feel even more exhausting because while I was recovering, food prices in the UK kept climbing again.

[00:02:20]And for millions of people across Britain, it now feels like things have completely lost control. Basic groceries are costing more every month. Small shopping trips somehow turn into massive totals. And what's making people nervous is that there doesn't seem to be any sign of this slowing down because every time people think prices have peaked, they rise again and again and again.

[00:02:40]Families are cutting back harder. People are checking prices constantly and ordinary shopping is starting to feel stressful for millions across the country. So today's question is simple.

[00:02:50]If food prices keep exploding like this, where does this end for Britain?

[00:02:56]>> Our energy bills are just going up and up and up. Our rent prices are soaring.

[00:03:00]No one can afford to buy a house.

[00:03:03]They're not paying us enough.

[00:03:05]But it's the cost of living. No, it's the cost of bloody greed. It's the cost of greed. We're going to have a spike in food prices. They're projecting by November. We can't even afford food now.

[00:03:15]Is it the cost of living or is it the cost of greed? Because corporations, people at the top, billionaires, they're taking the mick out of us. They're having a jolly. It's time for us as a society to talk about it, be honest about it, use our voices, and not just sit there and take it because if we don't use our voices, we don't speak up, these things just get worse and worse, right?

[00:03:37]>> I'm sorry, but when did a monthly food shop for four people, well, no, six, sorry, if I count the two babies. But since when did that cost only £400? Like that is my trolley and that was £400. Like what the actual [ __ ] Quick one. How do people afford to eat nowadays with the price of everything? I've just gone into a shop to get a pasti and they want £450 for a pasti. Well, guess what? I walk straight out cuz I cannot afford £450 for a pasti. I got kids. I got a car. At what point are we going to stop calling this a cost of living crisis and start calling it what it actually is? A load of crap? Cuz I'm watching families struggle and cut back. But you know what big supermarkets and companies have done? They have announced record profits. Record profits. Make it make sense. I'm not saying businesses shouldn't make money, but don't tell people to budget better. Meanwhile, corporations are having their best years ever. This is survival mode. The way this country is going down the shutter.

[00:04:44]Yeah. The price of things is outrageous.

[00:04:49]How come? Yeah. Some frozen strawberries covered in chocolate in Alia. £349.

[00:04:58]I did pay for them this time. I've never paid for them before, but I did pay for them this time. And honestly, I was outraged.

[00:05:07]It It's just a joke. It's getting worse.

[00:05:10]Like the I just got one bag of food.

[00:05:12]Yeah. And within that bag of food, I got a pack of mints, a big pack of chicken, like four pieces. I think they are four chicken breasts. Not for me obviously.

[00:05:22]Um two Greek yogurts, some barely any fruit, one avocado, one cucumber. Um and in some treats yet. Do you want to know how much it come?

[00:05:34]This hasn't even got one dinner in it, you know. £45.

[00:05:39]£45.

[00:05:41]This country is a disgrace. Like £45.

[00:05:46]The average person would have to work 4 hours to pay for one bag of snacks, you know, and a pack of chicken and mints.

[00:05:52]That's literally it. That's all I got.

[00:05:54]They get no toilet roll. Think no household items. They get no pasta. No carbs. Thinking you didn't get a [ __ ] full meal. I just got a few things that I need and it was £44.

[00:06:05]The average person is on minimum wage.

[00:06:09]Do the math. It's not mapping. This country is outrageous. So, they keep calling it a new cost of living crisis.

[00:06:17]How can it be new when we never got out of the old one? The headlines moved on.

[00:06:21]Politicians said things were improving, but the weekly shops still so expensive.

[00:06:25]Rent is ridiculously high and energy bills are absolutely brutal. People are still having to fill the gap with credit cards, buy now pay later, and loans every single month. The thing about debt is that it builds up so slowly that you don't notice it's a problem until it's already a problem. It's not one big decision that puts you in debt. It's a load of small ones like a direct debit here, a mispayment there, until one day you're paying all these minimum payments and none of the balances are moving.

[00:06:52]That's not a failure from you. That's what happens when the cost of living outpaces everything else for years at a time. But there are real legal ways out of it. Have a look at the link in our bio.

[00:07:03]>> I cannot be the only one that thinks that life in the UK now is just getting [ __ ] ridiculous. Like food shopping is costing above and beyond. And that's even with reducing the things that you're wanting to get. You know, petrol costs an absolute bomb. We looked to go on holiday the other day as well.

[00:07:20]holidays just to like Canary Islands and stuff are costing an absolute fortune on ones I've gone on before and only paid, you know, like probably like a grand grand and a half less. It's just mental now. Like the cost of everything is just crazy. Like me and my wife and are looking to get a house and stuff like that and we're looking and we're just like, "Oh my god." Like it's honestly mental. Like even when we do get the house, your standard of living is just going to be piss. So yeah, I don't know if any of you lot feel the same way, but I just feel like nothing's getting better. Everything just keeps going up all the time.

[00:07:56]>> I just find it so crazy how it's basically normalized at this point to literally just do your job, pay your bills, and barely be able to save at the end of the month. Like, it's just so normalized to go to a grocery store and literally panic every time you go grocery shopping because everything's just so [ __ ] expensive. that every time you go to the shop, everything's just like doubled in price. I was having a conversation with my sister and I was just saying like, I'm I'm so [ __ ] upset that I can't spend the money that I want to spend on my family because everything like just surviving is so [ __ ] expensive. Like, yes, like I am not as poor as some people that I know some people are literally struggling to even like exist.

[00:08:38]I'm I'm getting by paycheck to paycheck and it's it's insane how normalized it has become that we spend most of our lives working and all we are doing is surviving. We're not we're not doing anything. We're just literally surviving. Like most of us can't even afford to buy a [ __ ] shitty flat for [ __ ] sake. Every year electric goes up, everything goes up.

[00:09:00]Everything but the salary. And I'm just like it's so [ __ ] normalized and it's literally going to get worse. it it's gonna get worse and I don't want to sit here and be like hopelessness, but it's not it's not going to get any better.

[00:09:13]>> So, this isn't one of my usual videos.

[00:09:15]However, I've just come out of Tesco's.

[00:09:17]I've got eggs, fries, two hybrid proof fans, and some bread.

[00:09:24][ __ ] £10. The cost of living is absolutely out of control at the moment.

[00:09:29]And to top it off, I've been eating the two pound packet of chicken for Tesco's.

[00:09:34]It's about 240 g. I've been eating it for about 10 years. Go in there today.

[00:09:40]160 g 2 pound50 on club card. What do you mean on [ __ ] club card? £3 otherwise. Honestly, I think I would rather smoke [ __ ] crack.

[00:09:50]>> So, supermarkets keep increasing the prices on a weekly basis. I mean, somebody said to me the other day they paid an extra £18 within a week for the exact same shop. I got a Tesco shop 7 weeks apart online, the big shop, and it was £50 more than the previous one. and it were the exact same shop. Actually, no, we deleted a couple of items as well. That is an increase in 7 weeks.

[00:10:11]Where's it going to be in the next 5 years if we carry on like this? It is just getting silly. Somebody needs to step in because Tesco's alone made 800 million in profits one year and now it's 3 billion. 3 billion in profits. And they keep saying, "Oh, they keep putting the prices up because the cost of fuel, the cost of living crisis, and the Iran war." They just blame everything else just to price go. They're just taking the piss. Same with the gas and the electricity companies. Somebody needs to step in now because people have had enough. They can't afford to get the shopping in. Somebody said they bought one bag of shopping. It cost 100 quid and it's like for the stuff they bought.

[00:10:47]It's mental. People can't buy treats anymore for the kids. Well, hear me out on this. Somebody that used to work for Tesco's, not stacking shelves, used to be at management level, commented on me last video and he said he used to work there and they used to have meetings about putting the prices up and they'd be laughing about putting the prices up because the general public don't even notice the price increases and people have got more money than cents and they'll just keep putting the prices up as well as people can't be as shopping anywhere else. So, they'll just use Tesco's because they've got the club card and people think they're getting a bargain. Basically, they're relying on the general public to be stupid and not notice the price increases. That's coming from somebody that used to work there. And it's like what, 3 billion last year in profits? Used to be 800 million, but yet they're blaming the Iran war and fuel costs and everything else for the price increases. It's [ __ ] Especially when people are saying that that used to work for Tesco's.

[00:11:41]People, we need to shop somewhere else because it's not just Tesco's. Asda's at it. Morrison's at it. They're all at it.

[00:11:47]They all piss in the same bucket like the politicians that need to step in and sort this [ __ ] out because it's getting out of hand now. Would you agree?

[00:11:55]>> So, I'm in Tesco. Please tell me why I just saw this.

[00:12:00]£7 for Sensidine toothpaste and I see this as a Sensine user. I know the price of this thing. It was in a Tesco Express and normally if you go like Tesco Express something, it'll be like £4 something. Normally in a normal shop it'll be like £3 something, but I only get it when it's on offer like £2 something. £7.

[00:12:21]This is now a luxury item. £7. They need to be selling this at Harrods because this is a common Tesco Express and this is a common toothpaste. You know what?

[00:12:32]It's so [ __ ] up. Yeah. Like the main big supermarkets in the UK, they're making like billions in profit and you go and do your shop and then they ask you to like give towards charity. And I think [ __ ] why don't you give towards charity? You're making billions of profit a year and you're asking for people that work hard to give money to charity. Like, get a [ __ ] grip. What the actual hell's going on?

[00:12:58]>> You guys call it cost of living crisis all you want. I'm calling it cost of greed crisis. A few weeks ago, I was at Tesco's and I done a food shop that come up to about £70. Tell me why two weeks later I've done the same food shop except I've taken out a few items and it's come up to £120.

[00:13:16]That is a £50 difference. It's actually insane. This isn't cost of living crisis. This is cost of greed. These supermarkets are taking a piss. Serious question here, right? Who the [ __ ] shops at Sainsbury's? And if you do, you probably need your head testing. Why does sainb think it's on par with [ __ ] waitress and Mark and Spencers yet it's got nothing to offer? There's no [ __ ] Percy pigs. There's no nice deli coers. There's no nice [ __ ] cookies. You're just absolutely [ __ ] and overpriced. Like Sainsbury's is on par with Tesco's and Asda if not worse.

[00:13:50]There's nothing wrong with Tesco and Asda. I love shopping there. However, Sainsbury's just a [ __ ] ripoff. Went in there just to get some hairspray for my hair obviously and 8 pound50 for a tin of hairspray. I just like nah I'm not a [ __ ] cheap skate but I know my [ __ ] worth and I'm not paying that for airspray went into the corner £424 not even on offer like sainsburries you're like the Karen of the [ __ ] supermarket world you're like that woman lives on a council estate but she's got the nice house on the corner and thinks he's better than everyone I'm from a council state so doesn't [ __ ] matter but honestly sainsburries sort your [ __ ] out you wank >> this cost of living crisis is really really getting on hits now. And I say now, it's not that I've only just noticed it, but I'm a very laidback person and I'm not very inquisitive. I sort of just think it's happening. We're all in it together.

[00:14:47]What can we do now? I'm fuming.

[00:14:50]Nothing specifically has happened, but I just feel like you breathe in and some bastard pops up like, "Oh, that was actually premium oxygen, so £10, please.

[00:15:00]Why is everything so expensive?

[00:15:04]>> What are we going to do? What are we going to do? Cuz we're all just cracking on, but what are we going to do? And who the [ __ ] is paying 60p for a carrier bank from co-op? Because that is extortionate.

[00:15:16]Extortionate. Like what happened to 10 20p? The [ __ ] No, it saves 60. I was like, no, I'm good. You know, I've got another push for free. I was just being lazy. Come ask for it underneath.

[00:15:29]But forget that. Do you know what I mean? 60p for a [ __ ] carry bag. Oh, I got a cup of fun. I wasn't even expecting a carry bag full of stuff from the shop. You know what I mean? But yeah, while wild times in two 2026 six carry bag, absolutely not. That's ridiculous. Also, can anyone else not wash up? absolutely psychic herself because it's every toy every time I wash her.

[00:15:58]Love you. Bye. Remember when baked beans used to be a staple? They used to be cheap in your house. Remember? Have a look at this. £5 for a multiack of beans. What the actual £325 for some of these like microwavable ones? What? If you haven't got a nectar cord, it's £140 for a tin of beans. A single tin of beans. M. I know I'm always on here ranting about the prices of things, but I can't quite get over how much beans have went up. Bloody beans. Remember, if you had any money, you would have a tin of beans with some toast and you would fill your belly. Now, you need a freaking mortgage for a tin of beans and this play. Also, a cheeky free bent ass used to be a cheap tea, didn't it? £310.

[00:16:40]Are you joking me? What? A tin of spam?

[00:16:44]£350. This food used to be like cheap food that we used to have in if we had any money. Used to have spam used to have the dentist used to have beans and it used to cost hardly anything. What in the cost of living crisis is happening.

[00:16:56]Honestly, I know things are going up, but I still just I can't keep up with it. It is knocking me bad. Honestly, I didn't even want to give them money, but we need to eat. I'm not going to eat any of this stuff, but I'm just like don't get it. I don't get it. Sainsbur, I know it's not just you. I know it's all over the show, but how are we in that? Few weeks ago, I talked about this one. Have a look again. Nest Cafe Gold Blend £835.

[00:17:20]If you haven't got a nectar, even with nectar, £6.75. What? I I just even for the shitty Nes Cafe original. £7.75.

[00:17:28]£7 for this little one. £775 for this massive one. How? See, I need a lie down after this. I can't even have a cup of tea cuz it's too bloody expensive to calm myself down. What the hell? It's just I I just can't get over it.

[00:17:43]>> Right. I'm [ __ ] livid just being up the shop, right? I do a bit of cake making. I've been doing it doing it for the past six years, which this year it's ending. [ __ ] Phenito. It's not profitable. Um I don't know any other bakers feel like that, but oh my life. I just um she asked me for this cake.

[00:18:04]She's paid good money for it, which I'm not going to grumble, but she wanted some like white chocolates on top and stuff like that. You know what I mean?

[00:18:10]Ask for this, that, and the other. Just been in the local bleeding shop. Look at this.

[00:18:16]£329 for a bag of [ __ ] Malteses.

[00:18:23]£32.

[00:18:24]Kids have got no chance these days.

[00:18:26]Neither have parents. I mean, at the end of the day, how much parents going to have to start giving pocket money to kids? What? 50 quid a [ __ ] week.

[00:18:32]Jesus Christ. Anyways, I I'm I'm just beside myself. I don't know what to say. I really don't. It's just It's just ridiculous. I mean, what what I mean, half the stuff in there. I mean, half of it's [ __ ] air. Look, there's about that many maltesas in there. You want [ __ ] gold for that price?

[00:18:53]Goldplated ones. Anyway, [ __ ] Jeez. I don't know what to say. I'm just so I'm so annoyed. But yeah, all these people, I mean, I've had people in the past asking me for a bloody cake and with all singing dancing decorations on it and wanted to pay like 30 quid. It's like, what? You just [ __ ] have a laugh.

[00:19:13]That's why I'm giving it up. Anyway, alls I can blame. Alls I can blame is Jamie Oliver for his [ __ ] sugar attacks.

[00:19:22]Yeah, it's got to be him. Him, the [ __ ] Anyway, I'm going. My brain's been disengaged from me mouth, so I'm off.

[00:19:29]Try. Good evening everybody. Um I was just in the shop before I was getting few little bits that I needed and you know the price of food is absolutely ridiculous. Like I I don't eat you know do I eat breakfast? Sometimes it depends if I'm hungry or not. I only eat when I'm hungry. But ideally, we're supposed to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or supper, whatever way you call it. I call it supper. And how's that possible?

[00:20:05]How's it possible to eat healthy eat food that's going to be good for our insides when everything is so expensive?

[00:20:16]Like, I'm finding myself going to the shop almost every day. Like I can get in a load of shopping and two days down the line I'm out again for more bits because you can't afford now to get everything that you need. You can't afford to get everything. So you're getting all the important bits that you need and then and then you then you your thoughts are in your head is right next week I'll pick that up or I'll pick this up another couple of days when I when I manage to scrape the money together for it. It's absolutely ridiculous. how you supposed how you supposed to like survive like I just feel sorry for the people who are really really really struggling and you know the people who ain't good with money and um you know people say well how can you you know some you've got to be you got to be very clever at money but some people don't know how to how to how to uh balance money some people just don't know how to do it you know it's just how how they are and I just feel sorry for you know like It's not just that you It's just ridiculous, you know.

[00:21:25]Even these cheap market uh even these cheap supermarkets now that was once cheap is is the same price as the the big shops with all the the big brands in them.

[00:21:38]It's ridiculous. It really is like like when's the prices going to stop going up?

[00:21:46]Like guys, I'm not going to be able to afford to live soon with these [ __ ] food shopping places. Every time I nip out, it's 58 quid. £58 in the Aldi for one bag. Well, one bag. Couldn't afford another bag. So, everything's just it's just a bag and and everything [ __ ] around the car. But how nice are these?

[00:22:08]Anyone ever had them yogurt flavored rice mini rice cakes? Lea and Figgy love them. So, I thought I'd pick some up for myself. [ __ ] gorgeous.

[00:22:18]And I seen this in the special buy. It was with um pity py style sauce granule mix. Doesn't that look nice? I'm going to have it with these. Don't know why I'm freaking showing you everything, but got two packets of this um chip and skewers. So, I'm going to have that tomorrow with that them too. And some chips and some salad.

[00:22:42]But yeah, honestly, [ __ ] I won't be able to afford to live soon. Might not be no [ __ ] Christmas holes this year.

[00:22:49]Oh, and me [ __ ] car [ __ ] failed it this morning for a [ __ ] I'm in Mike's car for a freed seat belt there cuz it's got like a [ __ ] pull on it. [ __ ] bastards. Look, look at the way I'm even dressed. I look like I look like I'm disowned. I don't look like I've got a family. I look like when you [ __ ] when you was a kid and your mom used to ask you to open everything the [ __ ] shopping.

[00:23:11]>> I know there's a cost of living crisis going on and the supermarkets keep putting the prices up whenever they [ __ ] feel like it. But hear me out on this one. So we do Tesco's online shop because I don't like going out into the supermarket cuz there's a lot of people there that have no common sense and they do mind nothing. So we do the Tesco's online shop. Now, you know, if you do it yourself, anybody on here that you can add your previous order to your shopping list because you get the pretty much the same stuff. So, you literally add a couple of bits or delete a couple of bits that what don't you don't need and you can have it done in 5 minutes. And it's so much easier than going to the bloody shops and less stressful. And I've just done a online shop for Tesco's. This is 7 weeks from previous when we last did it. Yeah, 7 weeks. I know we do bits and shops in between. So obviously it's not 7 weeks we go without going for a shop. But hear me out. So 7 weeks ago it was £131 was our shop.

[00:24:05]Okay. For the exact same shop, this had just added from the previous one we did.

[00:24:10]7 weeks later, £18160.

[00:24:14]So that's 50 quid more for the same shop that we got 7 weeks ago.

[00:24:21]What the [ __ ] Tesco? That is taking the [ __ ] piss. We get everything in the club card prices and we got club cards so obviously we get all that discount too. So explain that 50 quid in seven weeks. That's [ __ ] mental for the same [ __ ] Actually, we deleted some stuff as well. We didn't need any bleach this time and a couple of other bits and bobs. There's no alcohol in there, too.

[00:24:44]That's just food. Make that make sense.

[00:24:47][ __ ] mental.

[00:24:48]>> This is just breaking, but inflation has dropped to 2.8% 28% and the government are acting like this is a relief like something that we should be celebrating but don't because every single economist is already saying this is as low as it will get this year. It's not a recovery by any stretch. It's the calm before the storm. And here's what they're not leading with. Diesel just hit 190 a liter. Petrol is already at a fresh high this week alone. 158 and climbing.

[00:25:12]That's not just your fuel though because it affects every delivery, every supermarket run, every product on every shelf. It all gets more expensive, but it takes time for this to phase in. The Iran war isn't slowing down, although Donald Trump has declared victory like 10 times. Oil the supply is being squeezed globally. And this is having a huge impact, and it will continue to have a huge impact until it stops. The cost of making the stuff is up about 7.7% in a single year. That pain is not hit the shopping baskets yet, but it is coming. The Food and Drink Federation, an actual industry body, has warned that food inflation could reach 10% by the end of the year. Think about what that means. Chocolate, meat, basics, all the stuff that you would get on an average food bill of around 100 quid is going to be £110 by December. The chief economist at KPMG has said 2.8% is likely as low as it's going to be this year cuz they're projecting 4% inflation by the end of 2026. Let me take another step back and go. If you've money in a savings account right now, getting you between 3 and 3 and a half%, which is probably as good as you can get, inflation is going to beat that.

[00:26:18]Meaning, if you put £100 in, you're going to get £350 back at the end of the year, but it's worth four quid less. So, you're down money. If people don't understand how inflation works, it's a silent killer. But don't worry, we've got Rachel Ree. Thank Christ for Rachel.

[00:26:32]What she is saying is, "Look, I'm thinking about cost of living support, which means the government already knows what's coming and they're bracing for backlash effectively. It's the same thing as we'll give you money for towards your heating and we'll not take 5 P duty." It's it's just it's just headlines. It's just all you can do right now is if you're on a variable energy tariff, try to lock in something.

[00:26:50]Number two, buy bulk non-p perishable food items right now while it's relatively low. I know it seems ridiculous to do that, but trust me, if you can use something every day, you might as well buy it right now cuz it will become more expensive. And number three is build a 3-month cash buffer.

[00:27:04]You should have this at all times. It allows you to have flexibility when things get tough. The headline says inflation fell, but the real story is that the worst is still ahead of us. So, make sure you give us a follow cuz I'll keep you up to date on everything.

[00:27:16]>> Don't go to Tesco's, they said. Come to M&S, they said. Well, here I am. And why are the tomatoes £5 vines of tom? Are you actually serious?£5? They said come to M&S, they said.

[00:27:33]£250 for rocket leave, six apricots, £425. You can actually get a meal deal in Tesco's with this, which is even diabolical in itself. I don't care what Sunset Cherries, you're giving me. £5.

[00:27:48]And they probably don't even taste sweet.

[00:27:52]I literally just counted seven strawberries. Not even 10 strawberries.

[00:27:57]A family will probably have to get six of these to even feed three people.

[00:28:02]I love cream caramel. I went to pick it up and there's only two for £340.

[00:28:10]>> So, these are the eggs that I usually get in Tesco's for £365. They're £425 here for the exact same eggs. Six as well, not even 10.

[00:28:20]So, this is probably going to be like £100.

[00:28:24]>> Oh my god, I don't want to cry.

[00:28:27]>> No, that's ridiculous.

[00:28:29]No, no. Honestly, I don't want to cry. Why is that £100?

[00:28:36]I don't care if I'm in M&S.

[00:28:43]I barely got a meal and fruits.

[00:28:48]I thought it was more. Couldn't believe it when my mom said she put the shopping on the table and this is all of the stuff. M&S will not be seeing me again.

[00:28:59]the cost of living these days.

[00:29:03]Now, I don't know about you, but everything costs a bloody fortune. Now, I've got me in plumbing business.

[00:29:09]Fittings are costing a fortune. Food's costing a fortune. Better diesel costing a fortune.

[00:29:16]And it's absolutely scandalous. A few years back, you'd come to the supermarkets where bag of shop 20 quid, 30 quid, but now it's 50, 60 quid and you're hardly getting anything to show for it. And I wanted to come on and do this post. I didn't know much about statistics and facts, but surely these big supermarkets can drop the prices of basic food, bread, milk, eggs, fruit, and fed. Surely they can drop them doing so. people could afford them.

[00:29:49]Now, these companies must be making millions of pounds a year on profit. And you're not telling me that they can drop down these basic foods so that people can afford them.

[00:30:02]And again, it's like the petrol on the diesel. We had the crisis a few months back and the next day, these petrol stations are doubling their prices nearly and they're just taking the piss.

[00:30:13]and you just feel sometimes that the UK is screwing us. So, I wanted to come on here just to find out if you had the same views as me. Could these supermarkets really drop the prices and make food more affordable?

[00:30:32]And I don't actually think the government have a say on it. They've talked about maybe speaking to these supermarkets to put a price cap on some of the foods, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen or no. So, I'd love to hear your comments on this view. The cost of living. Could these supermarkets drop the prices so people could afford more food at a more valuable price?

[00:30:55]Leave me a we comment. Thanks for watching, guys. Guys, how can I go to my local co-op? Yeah. And I was like, you know what? Yeah, let me get get some lemon sit because my throat is actually like out here like is actually like in I'm in dire of pain right now. L speaking that is paining me but I have to come and speak about this injustice right I go there tell me why simple lit £7 ba [ __ ] r cl pound guys £7 like do you want to die £7 this economy for what 10 lemon flavored paracetam satchets THAT'S WHAT I'M PAYING SEVEN BA [ __ ] clout pound Sure.

[00:31:42]Hey, if my throat was not like cuz the only problem actually like relieves my like whenever I have a sore throat it relieves it and I'm actually dire pain.

[00:31:52]Hey while I £7 back when it used to be £54 I was still I was still clutching at my pearls. I was like this is too much now £7. Are you guys crazy? And before you guys say why don't you just get the um the supermarket buy. They didn't have they didn't have me out of bottle. They didn't have and I'm making joke like this might seem like funny or whatever whatever but like this is actually a serious topic that we need to discuss.

[00:32:20]Like if we're increasing the price of simple over-the-counter medication, how are people of low income going to afford medication when they're sick? Like do you want anyone to die? It is when to even just get GP appointment. Hey there.

[00:32:35]Like you can't even get a GP appointment nowadays. It's a struggle. As long as if you get appointment just to look for an appointment. So people are now resorting to over the counter medication. And now if you're increasing that people can't afford it for their kids and for themselves. What what what we say to do just suffer. Like this is actually a serious concern. GOVERNMENT SORT IT OUT.

[00:32:56]SORT it out. Like I'm just grateful that I'm a I'm in a position where I can afford to get £7 of LMIP. But some people are not in that position and it's not fair. Like hospitaliz is a struggle. GP is a struggle. Now to go to cop and get them sip is a struggle. I beg sort it.

[00:33:16]What makes this situation feel so different now is that people across Britain are no longer shocked by rising food prices anymore. They're exhausted by them because this isn't just a temporary spike people can brush off and wait out. For many households, this has become everyday life. Every supermarket trip feels more expensive.

[00:33:38]Every basket somehow costs more than expected. And people are starting to notice something else, too. It's not just prices going up. It's quality going down at the same time. Smaller portions, cheaper ingredients, less value, more money for less product. And when you combine that with rising fuel costs, higher bills, rent pressure, taxes, and constant financial stress, it creates a feeling that ordinary people are being squeezed from every possible direction.

[00:34:08]That's why frustration across Britain feels so intense right now because people don't feel like they're moving forward financially anymore. They feel like they're constantly trying to survive the next price increase. And maybe the scariest part is a lot of people no longer believe this is going to stop anytime soon.

[00:34:26]>> That's the real fear building across the country. Because if food prices keep exploding, if fuel keeps rising, if wages continue failing to keep up, then what exactly does normal life in Britain look like 5 years from now? What happens when ordinary families can no longer comfortably afford basics? Because once food becomes stressful, everything else starts feeling unstable too. And that's why this feels bigger than inflation.

[00:34:54]Now this feels like confidence collapsing. Faith in the system collapsing. People losing trust that life in Britain is actually becoming better. And when a country reaches that point, the anger starts building quietly, not always loudly, but steadily. month after month, receipt after receipt, bill after bill. And the real question is, how much more pressure can ordinary people in Britain realistically absorb before something finally breaks? This is broken Britain.
