Some fruit and veg have gone up i.e. a large cucumber before Christmas was 60p and it's now 65p. Pot of original houmous was ?1 and it's now ?1.35. Pack of fish which was always a fixed price has gone up 20p. Noticed lots of other bits but can't remember prices before Christmas.

This is a list of the items Sainsbury's are saying are on 'lockdown'... https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/new---trending/price-lockdown-all#langId=44&storeId=10151&catalogId=10123&categoryId=417393&parent_category_rn=355372&top_category=355372&pageSize=36&orderBy=FAVOURITES_ONLY%7CSEQUENCING%7CTOP_SELLERS&searchTerm=&beginIndex=0&hideFilters=true&facet=

What you have to bear in mind with any savings a supermarket offers, is that some other products will go up in price to counter the savings. Supermarkets aren't in the business of giving away money...

Or maybe Sainsburys have discovered that most of their cleaning products, shower gels, wipes, bleach, bathroom, kitchen cleaning products (more or less everything on the list) can be bought in the local pound shops at cheaper prices so they are now 'locked down' for however long?

If you look around, you can find deals - coffee usually has markdowns in different shops at different times.


I manage to shop in Sainsbury's relatively cheaply, but it is hard work.


Apples vary from ?1.50 for 6 to ?3 for 4.


I do shop around though and get bits from different places mostly. Sainsbury is nearest though. I have noticed that not all items are priced on the shelves which is confusing. Nuts near the jam for instance - some packs are significantly cheaper than others for the same things. None are priced though so I get the cashier to check them and then decide which I want.

    • From the number of replies I had and the question asked by Azalea here  I conclude there is either considerable fear to speak out publicly about GPs or there is a level of dissatisfaction about doctors expertise in rheumatic chronic disease in our local area that is higher than I was expecting. Both things seem to me no good at all, especially if confronted with the number of people with rheumatic conditions living in Dulwich and surrounding areas - I see so many relying on pseudo scientific therapies, falling into a downward  spiral and then with  diabetes, obesity and various other manifestations of poor health  such alleged dementia or autism.  What to conclude? Best of luck to everybody who cannot afford private consultations and does not have the skills for self-care! 
    • We found a rucksack on our driveway (looked liked it had been abandoned, possibly after being stolen). Contained a few things including a bible that belongs to Georges. Keen to get it back to him if possible as I doesn't look like it was left intentionally.
    • Hi  We need to replace 3 fence panels in our garden that are damaged and I would like it to blend in with the rest of the fencing. So I am looking for something weathered. If you are taking out some fence panels and looking to dispose of them, please please let me know. I am happy to buy them!  Thanks 07903830384
