The good news is " UK inflation steady as crackers and cake drive monthly food price fall". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68285819

"However, the monthly drop in the price of food, including items such as crackers, cake and crisps helped offset the rise in electricity and gas costs.
The 0.4% fall marked the first decrease in more than two years, with cooking sauce and instant coffee costs also easing."

We must be on the Letter C this month - Crackers, Cake, Crisps, Cooking Sauce and instant Coffee! 
Don't know about you but none of these items feature regularly on my shopping list and I wouldn't notice whether they cost less in January or more. I'd class all of these as non-essential items - apart from, maybe, coffee. Any "savings" I made from this price drop would be negligible whilst the rise in electricity and gas costs is significant. 

Which items on your food shopping list would be more representative of a food price fall? I'd choose cheese and butter, eggs, bread and dog food...and Seeds. Big Grin
