Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Just seen this posted by a friend who is in the USA at the moment. You know, that place of free trade that we are trying to emulate...

Sliced wholemeal loaf: $4.95 = ?3.80 (UK Aldi: 80p, Tesco: ?1.20)

Bag of sugar: $1.59 = ?1.22 (UK Aldi 79p Tesco: 85p)

Small jar of own brand honey: $4.79 = ?3.68 (UK Tesco: ?1.69)

425gms* olive spread: $2.69 = ?2.07
*UK olive spread is typically supplied in 500gm tubs, = cost ?2.43 (UK Aldi: 80p Tesco: ?1)

Cucumber: $2.50 = ?1.92 (UK Aldi 68p)

New potatoes: $4.49 = ?3.45 (UK Aldi: under ?2)


Still, I suppose coming out of Europe will keep the fuzzy-wuzzies out.
