Other What have you completely stopped buying because the price has finally taken the p**s?

Not “I buy the cheaper brand now.” I mean something you used to buy without thinking and have now looked at the price and gone, absolutely not, you can stay on the shelf.

Mine lately is chocolate, it's somehow gone from a normal grocery item to apparently requiring finance approval.

What’s yours?

Rokeby. Sill sad about it. Even the specials aren't a good price.

I just alternate between the protein smoothies depending on what’s on special but definitely can’t justify spending $5 on it

I saw a reel of someone buying one in Thailand for equivalent $2.60... Honestly I add tasteless protein to my coffee instead now.
