Shoppers are asking 'when will this madness end'? as they struggle to cope with ongoing price hikes. One woman shared her disbelief over seemingly relentless increases after the cost of her usual pet food and pizza went up again at her local convenience store.

Posting in a budgeting Facebook group where savvy shoppers share their tips, she said: "Can't believe this. Last week ( Friday ) pizza was £1.75 now it's £1.99.

Prices are going up every other day now. When will this madness end? Cat food was 75p, then 95p then £1.10 now it's £1.55 sorry rant over but this is beyond ridiculous."

"I agree they are now taking the mickey," said one. "Agreed.

I needed a sit-down and a stiff drink after doing my online shop this week," said another. "Except the days are long past when I could afford to slip an occasional tot into my trolley." Dozens of the shoppers said they too are struggling with the hikes in pet food. "Cat food is going up so much," said one. "I moved on to tins for my lot and they rocketed in price." "I've got 3 cats, it's so scary how much cat food has risen," said another.
