Should probably be retitled as: UK consumers taxed more heavily than any other G7 country.
Hard to spend on frivolous things when you can barely afford things like food, light and heat.
We’re in a inflationary high interest rate era, probably the one time being a miseryguts is good for the economy.
This is the real story. BoE can’t get Brits to stop saving and start spending.
> But instead of spending these gains, households have been stashing them away. The saving ratio, which edged up to 10.7 per cent in the second quarter, has been stuck in double digits for the past year — well above its 2016-19 average of 5.6 per cent.
Good. It’s about time us consumers sent a message to businesses.
It’s now £31 to take my kids to a local softplay for 2 hours. That’s with no coffee or snacks.
It’s way too much and passed my breaking point.
Hard to spend when you are trying to save what little you have. I have noticed a lot of places giving discount but rather save than get into debt.
The price of many consumable goods these days is just absurd. Its the value of item that I weigh up before buying or not.
I was at an airport the other day and mars bars (the small normal sized bar) were priced at £2.75! I know airports are inherently expensive but still.. Who actually pays £2.75 for a small mars bar that will be eaten in three bites?
Even if I had millions of pounds, I still wouldn’t buy it because its terrible value for money! I want value!
Well perhaps if people weren’t spending every penny propping up greedy landlords, energy companies and water companies things would be different.
