2月份，英國的總零售價格指數（Retail Price Index）由1%瘋狂升至6.2%，相比去年共升了5.2%。零售貨品上升受多個原因影響，其中最主要的原因是汽油價格上升和俄羅斯發起對烏克蘭的戰爭。
市民為了省錢，只好選擇較便宜的貨品，例如超市自家品牌。Aldi 和 Lidl 超市的銷售量仍比去年增長了3.6%，可見市民都轉向『年度最低價的超級市場』的兩間超市購買食物。
英國傳媒 The Mirror 公佈，升幅最多的食品的頭10件產品：
| 貨品： | 升幅（百分比） |
| Oils and fats 食用油/油脂類 | 9.2% |
| Coffee, tea and cocoa 咖啡/茶/可可製成品 | 4.6% |
| Fruit 水果 | 4.5% |
| Milk, cheese and eggs 奶類/芝士/蛋 | 3.4% |
| Wine 低酒精飲品 | 3.3% |
| Sugar, jam, chocolate and sweets 糖類/果醬/朱古力/糖果 | 2.9% |
| Mineral water, soft drinks and juices 礦泉水/汽水/果汁 | 2.8% |
| Vegetables 蔬菜類 | 2.7% |
| Spirits 烈酒 | 2.6% |
| Beer 啤酒 | 2% |

ASDA 自家品牌
物價騰飛，連超級市場的龍頭ASDA也要為此作出改變。他們的自家品牌 Smart Price 系列因為價格太低，而無法繼續，決定停止生產。
自家品牌 Just Essentials
由於無法維持低價格，因此停產 Smart Price系列的食品，換個系列名稱『Just Essentials』，以新包裝和新價格推出。
超市省錢法
既然未能開源，便只好節流！各位可以試試跟隨以下方式去超市購物，相信能有效為家中控制洗費：
- 列明購物清單
- 購物前先列好所需的物品清單
- 依照清單購物購物，可避免購買不必要的東西
- 能有效地縮短購物時間，以避免逗留在超市過長，令購物慾增加
- 向『Deals優惠價』說不
- 超級市場經常有 3 for 2（買2送1）、2 for 10（£10兩件）等優惠
- 不要因為這些Deals優惠價，而購買過多未能使用/食用的貨品
- 購買優惠價，只會令花費增加
- 改掉品牌化的觀念
- 不要認為有品牌的產品較好
- 超市的低價自家品牌同樣質量好
- 追蹤/加入Facebook頁/群組
- 能了解超市/商店的第一資訊（折扣、購物券）
- 例如：MoneySavingExpert、Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK 等
