[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2384179, member: 521715"] yes, the cost of my shopping has gone up because of what I buy specially for me, but it has also gone up generally on the items I buy for my non-diabetic family members. Our weekly food bill has gone from £60+ a year ago to over £80+, sometimes more. It is counterbalanced a bit by eating less quantity I use a freezer to make sure I can take advantage of bulk buys, or am covered when the delivery is "out of stock". Also expensive items like keto cake is instantly portioned and frozen so I get the full 16 portions rather than bingeing too many pieces at once. So I get more value from the ingredients I have bought. I bulk meals with cheap green veg. And freeze celeriac when in season I do not buy expensive out of season fruit and veg. I use factory farmed eggs rather than free range as I really can't tell the difference in taste. That gets me 15 instead of 6 for the same money. Small changes to offset big costs [/QUOTE]
