Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light β€” argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

When is that going to happen though? Not really noticed much change, my weekly Aldi shop still costs under Β£15 each.

I'd like to direct your attention here

Honestly still haven't seen any real difference shopping at Aldi in the UK. Food is still cheap enough that it may as well be a rounding error on our monthly budget. The only thing cheaper is water.

Well, that's good. Even if it is 44% annualized or whatever the article said, that only means like 4% in a month. For your 15 bill that's like 0.50

Ah, so the article is intentionally misleading by using a single months data as if it represents a whole year. Also April is the start of a new financial year so not exactly unsurprising to see it being higher for price increases.

[–] whosepoopisonmybuttocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Well, yes and no. I see how the figure can be confusing and misunderstood. A nearly 4% price increase usually happens over the course of a year or two and it has happened in a single month, which is the point of the article.

soon, because the food you get in grocery stores is farmed via equipment that uses lots of diesel. it's sadly a very safe prediction to make.
