How much?! Part 1

I'm not very good at remember the precise price of whatever I buy in a supermarket. All I do know is that apples generally cost EUR 2.99 per kilo and that, for years, my usual four pots of "stichfeste"* plain yoghurt used to cost a mere 69 cents.

Then came the cost of living crisis and the price was hiked up to 89 cents. The last time I looked, the price had risen once again to EUR 1.09. How much?! Forty cents more in a matter of weeks? That's a 57% increase from 69 cents. I dread to think how much they will cost by Christmas. I get through two pots a day.

*stichfest means that yoghurt is semi-solid rather than being 'sloppy'. I dislike 'sloppy' yoghurt. What I very much enjoy are desserts that, when you take a spoonful out of them, you can see the 'dent' you've made in them.
