@MikeFromLFE the main reason I was pondering Jack Monroe earlier on is there was a concept going around they were involved in for an alternative RPI that is based on the spending profiles of those on a lower income. So where the weight on costs is leaning more towards essentials, and more frugal buying.
IDK where I lie on the spectrum between that lowest end and the government RPI basket, not at the bottom yet anyway. But I've seen what look like large rises in some key basics, butter being one of those. But due to the way things chop and change it's hard to pin it down to anything exact.
We'll be OK if just one of us gets just about any job. I'm not panicking, but feeling the pressure, and it's been a lot of years of living close to the line now.
