Where is the cost of living going down?

Anyone who doesn't think food prices have come down is being disingenuous. Tesco offer amazing value on food at the moment.

Last month they did a deal where you could buy 3 bags for fruit for €3, and were offering 50% off he price of sirloin steak.

It is my perception that meat products constantly have the 50% off label attached. The 50% off price seems to be the normal price. I have seen this type of false marketing confidence trick for years everywhere I shop apart from Aldi and Lidl.

or it says 50% off per kg

So in all my cost of living has reduced by €15 each week.

But I am now paying well over €200 per month in Levys and other taxes.

So my cost of living has risen not been reduced.

No, your COL has been reduced, but by a negative figure. By your example, your COL has been reduced by minus €35 per week.

What'll you be doing to celebrate?
