Why is food inflation so high, when will it stall and are we being ripped off? This is Money podcast
Inflation is theoretically running out of steam but there's one essential that's still going up in price rapidly: food.
Even as energy prices and other recent highly inflationary items slow a bit, the cost of food seems to show no let up - with reports reporting inflation-busting rises.
What is going on here? How much have food prices risen, why have they gone up so much, are supermarkets or brand-name makers profiteering, and will costs ever come back down?
Georgie Frost, Angharad Carrick and Simon Lambert, delve into food prices on this week's podcast - and look at any ways you could save money.
Plus, mortgage rates are falling while the base rate is going up: why is that and what happens next?
Should you invest in a VCT, not just for the juicy tax breaks but also for the investment opportunities on offer? Angharad spoke to the manager of one of the biggest VCTs: Octopus Titan to ask him about how he invests and we discuss the article and VCTs on the show.
And finally, the founders of Seatfrog want to help passengers buy up unused first seats on trains at bargain prices and their next step is plans for making train ticket-buying better. What's the idea and is it worth trying?
