Sure even koka noodles were 13c back in the day. As soon as they became popular and a household item, they jacked up the price.

Aldi taking inspirations from tesco or something?

Ever think it was too cheap in the first place?

Oh no 75c for noodles with zero nourishment.

The cup noodles have gone up a lot recently too. You’re paying about €2 for a Koka noodle now. It used to be a handy cheap lunch.

So my dear experts, how does inflation alone translate into more than 400% increase over 5 years?

And we all know that even if the ingredients costs plummets again, the price is never going back down.

In my local Aldi, Chinese students have been buying that up in bulk for years. Aldi realised they were onto a winner, jack up the price

There were these 15c noodles in various storesthat disappeared overnight because they were made in various Asian countries with dodgy pesticides.
Still hard to see how like 50 grams of freeze dried wheat can cost a euro

No nutrition in these and arguably they are worse for you than eating nothing

I used to live on these when I was broke and was so shocked to see the price now, it’s ridiculous to see them go up by so much

Milk has gone up another 5c, it used to go up at 1c or 2c more. Now everything goes up in rounded figures.
A standard 500ml of coke zero has gone up from 2.25 to 2.49 in just a week.
Netflix before Christmas was 8.99 now it’s 10.99 before that it was 7.99, so basically a 50% price increase. It’s like they want us to pirate stuff.

Was only thinking this during the week. Remembered you could get noodles for 15c and now they’re way more. Also watching the lidl ads recently about a full shop being over €100 and cheaper than other stores – I’m nearly sure they had one for 70-80€ not too long ago….

Apollo noodles are 5 for €1.49 in Lidl.

Personally I wouldn’t be eating anything that cheap anyway. It’s guaranteed to be muck

The COL crisis has disproportionately hit the cheapest food items so if that’s what you buy because you have no option you’re doubly fucked.
I used to live on these in my teenage years, food was low on my list of priorities.

It’s an absolute disgrace
I’m going to need more than two data points for this one. The lowest price looks to be a flash sale or promotion so wouldn’t be a fair comparison.
The CPI increase between 2019 and 2023 was 16.9%.
