I have realised increase in prices everywhere including restaurants and their smaller rice portions. But when I finally went grocery shopping (for rice, after a long time) over the weekend, it really hit me. These are the prices of Basmati rice in Tesco London:
1kg: £0.94 —–> £1.76 (87% increase)
500g: £0.54 —–> £0.90 (67% increase)
Why are there discrepancies in the rate of increase? I presume the 1kg was priced lower before to encourage people to go for bigger things (like most products do).
Good time to go on a diet innit?
