Price rises

[Suzesnooze]

Minimum wage is going up from £8.21 to £8.72 from April, which is great for those people on it, however, by comparison other people’s salaries are not increasing at the same rate.. I work for local government therefore my pay rises are subject to a set rate and it’s definitely not going up as quickly as minimum wage!

In comparison though how much are you on an hour compared to someone on minimum wage?

I see my therapist on a lower rate for £40 per 50 mins. We had a talk about rising prices today and he mentioned possibly bringing it up to £50 per session. An increase of 25% . (His normal rate is £57 per hour and £66.50 for an evening slot for comparison and he told me I was his only lower rate client).

My monthly rent has gone up by around £5.

I remember you could buy three bars of Kinder bueno for £1. Now you can get 4 for £2 or (£1.50 currently on sale at Tesco).

The large Ferrero rocher boxes were £5 and the small ones were £3.50. Now the small ones are £5.00 and the large ones £8ish.

What other things have you seen creep up?
