> Butter has gone up a lot (don't have numbers)

Was pretty stable (over years) at:

    Country Life - £1.40-1.60
    Waitrose (supermarket) own - £1.30-1.40

Now:

    CL - £2.65
    Waitrose - £2.20

and that's where it's settled, was pretty volatile (up to a pound or so higher) for a while.

What's curious to me is that milk & cheese don't seem to have gone up so much nor been so volatile.

I'm really surprised you say that, because in my experience all 3 of those have massively gone up in price.

Like I said in my other comment - 4 pints of milk have gone up from 1.10 to 1.55(40% increase), countrylife butter(we buy the 500g pack) could be had for £3, maybe even £2.50 in a deal, now it's £4.25 at both tesco and sainsburys.

Tesco also removed their cheese deal which they had for years, where you could buy any two packs for £3, it went up to £3.50, and now it's £4 for two packs. Literally a 33% increase in less than a year.
