The cost of living crisis is not confined to groceries, petrol, electricity and gas. Yesterday, we spent £12.20 on a takeaway meal for two at Aydin's chippy. It's rare to buy a completely identical mean but we did just that, in October 2021, six months earlier. Then, the price for the exact same purchase was £8.80.
That's almost a 40 per cent increase in the price and almost akin to the 45 per cent rise in unleaded petrol over the same period to date. Demand for petrol remains inelastic but I'll say one thing: that for a takeaway is certainly not, at least in this household. Sorry, we're gonna have to cut back.
