How much?

For good reason my wife refuses to allow me to go supermarket shopping with her.

As my good lady was away over the weekend I had to nip out for half a pound of butter. I found the butter and almost fell over £1.60 for half a pound? Last time I looked I thought 60p was too much.

It's little things like this that bring home the impact of inflation, 2% one year and 4% the next and it all adds up.

Inflation is a funny thing it affects different markets in different ways. My business is electronics which is a market where costs tend downwards over the years, at least in real terms. Meeting retail inflation is quite a shock.
