WE ARE conducting a very simple Food Prices exercise during 2013. We will be following the prices of milk, butter, bread and carrots at the big Co-op store on Hull Road, Hedon.
‘It is thought that the carrot first came from Afghanistan sometime around the 7th Century AD, when they were originally … purple!‘ – Great British Carrots website
| Item | Price May 2013 | Change from last month | Change since Jan 2013 |
| Milk – Co-op 1 pint | £0.50 | ||
| Margarine – I can’t believe it’s not butter (500g) | £1.80 | +0.80 | |
| Bread – Co-op Wholemeal (800g) | £0.89 | ||
| Carrots – Co-op (500g) | £0.90 | +0.05 | *-0.10 |

+0.05 | +0.70 |
Carrots are the product that change almost every month. Last month a 500g bag cost £0.85 and included 50% extra = 750g. This month they cost £0.90 but for a new size bag of 600g.
Actual Carrot Prices so far in 2013 (always bought in the first week of the month):
- Jan – 50p – 500g (* This was an offer price so we listed £1 as our bench mark in January)
- Feb – £1 – 500g
- Mar – 50p – 500g
- Apr – 85p – 750g (* 50% extra)
- May – 90p – 600g
