Price increases on food because of Brexit

AMKC

So anyone notice any lately. I certainly have. Rice has gone up about 20 percent and butter too. They are just the ones I notice. We live in an expensive enough Country as it is this is only going to make it worse.

Brexit will used as an excuse for many price hikes.

Wait a sec. That doesn't happen until end of next month.

You can't up the customs in advance. These price hikes are from your supplier. Butter sold in Ireland is largely produced here anyway.

Don't worry everyone, its not going to happen.

There have been no tariff changes yet, so those increases are not Brexit related.

Ireland was No.1 on the food security index last year and is second only behind Singapore now.

We should be ok..

Own brand butter in my supermarket was €2.19 yesterday just as it always is.

There will be shortages of short shelf life products soon.

We will be fine in general, and the food is generally cheap in Ireland , but the availability will suffer, and the prices will go up for all imported products.

There is a bit of uncertainty over how bad it will be. But it will be bad enough to affect all of us.

You'd think people would stock pile on non perishables before a weather emergency.

We create enough food on this little island for a population 10 times our size. If people stick to good quality farm produce, cut out the processed junk, it will help your wallet, health, and have the added bonus of watching the Brits flush themselves down the toilet.

We're the ones who will end up stuffed.

Tax harmonisation is on the way.

We'll be an outpost, an insignificant province of the European empire with no friends.

Ubbquittious

If there is no brexit food prices will go up as well because the brits can keep buying our stuff with no import taxes


If it's not england trying to screw us it will be the EU

Completely agree. We are just a small island between North America and non-EU Great Britain and with little to nothing in common with mainland Europe. As if Germany or France give the slightest bit of damn about little old Ireland now or in the future.

And the Muppets in Leinster house just can't see far enough past the end of their payslips to see it coming. When they've done the bidding of Merkel, junkers etc for the brexit stuff, then the eye of sauron will swivel a couple of degrees west, and we're next. 4 million people an absolute drop in the ocean compared to Germany, France

Sure it will, but you can't just live on carrot, turnips, parsnips and meat.

There are many non processed food items delivered by boats. If those boats are delayed by custom checks, no matter how short these checks are, the boats get delayed.

And to be fair if you there is loads of products delivered in containers by boats.

Ireland is not as self sufficient as you might think and delays, extra paperwork, transport costs etc will cause price increase on the shelves.

Don't think the same way the British did when it comes to food and how we can feed ourselves. We can't.

No reason to leave Ireland if taxes are the same everywhere.

Exactly. The government are a shower of scheming parasites. Anywhere they think they can make a few extra euros then Brexit will be used to hike up the prices.

Well that’s just nonsense. Ireland is one of the wealthiest, fairest, and safest countries in the world. We are always ranked in the top 10 in quality of life reports from the UN. Albania is a dirt poor country with enormous levels of corruption and huge levels of inequality.

A lot of people are going to make a lot of money out of a hard Brexit. It's open season on raising prices above and beyond whats required to maintain profit margins. Old stock will go up too.

Correct. It has been the same price with the Germans for at least 4 years.

Except for better healthcare, transport, cheaper goods etc, not to mention having to follow the jobs when the FDA dries up

Why is Kerrygold two quid more than the standard butter.

IT'S BUTTER!

Kerrymaid is cheaper. Probably from the same factory as well

What's it taste like?

Kerrygold is the business in fairness. Convinced all they do is add a bit of salt to it though.

It tastes like Dairygold.

TBF I notice no difference with any of them. However, the Kerrymaid (and the Dairymaid version) seem easier to spread on toast than the current Dairygold carton I have in the same fridge.

UK suppliers/wholesalers are stockpiling everything ahead of Brexit, so there are supply shortages which have driven prices up already.

I have to say I haven't noticed any increase in the weekly grocery bill.

Depends where you shop and what youre buying. Iv'e noticed a a decent increase on brands like Kellogg's, Whetabix, McVities and Cadburys in the last month.

Mine are all just branded goods in Dunnes, with meat from a butcher and fruit/veg from a greengrocer. If there have been increases I really haven't noticed.

There are additional costs connected to brexit that indirectly impact on prices.

It's not like the companies raise prices just for fun. They don't plan for one week in advance, what is about to happen is being worked on now.

Because increasing the cost of trade leads to increased cost of trade surprisingly. There is undoubtedly other factors too but the activity our nearest neighbours have engaged in is the biggest example of f$ck up going on currently hence the reason it will be cited as the cause for most economic problems.

Majority of flour used in Irish bread is imported from the U.K.

Majority, if not all toilet roll comes from the U.K.

You'd expect those to rise if tariffs are introduced

AMKC

Its not Dairygold or Kerrygold I buy but the one I buy has gone up in the English Supermarket I shop in and the price of Pasta has as well. Thankfully we have choice and I bought it elsewhere in another supermarket for less than the new rip off price. Silly British and there stupid Brexit.

I’m just hoping that my supply of Twiglets will be unaffected. I love those crispy snacks to the point of addiction and have been known to drive all the way up to Newry just to get them! :pac:

Bread is bad for you and less bread means less toilet roll needed. Maybe some of those houses I saw years ago with a bidet will finally get to actually use them.

I thought they were for washing your hands.
