I'm not saying the OP is exaggerating. They could have had a different experience, I did ask where they found that milk.

There is a difference to providing alternative (current) anecdotal evidence to extrapolating 3-year-old data found in a newspaper report of a study. The latter being only valid if the former isn't available.

I know that the price of food is a concern for people who are moving here (it was for me), and they read these forums, and yes it is a little high, so there is no need to exaggerate it further and worry people.

I’m actually in Halifax, now, not 2014, I’ve been here a year and the price has been rock steady $5.19 in at least 2 major supermarkets. When I do have to shop out of those, I get it for $5.79 at the absolute most.

I do agree that the farmers get squeezed here in the UK and I don't particularly like it. I guess things will change once we're out of the EU though!

The shop was Avery's farm market but yes I agree it is (slightly) cheaper in the supermarkets. Either way, my statement about it being more expensive than the UK, is correct.
