Noooo!
First Marmite and PG Tips, and now this - why won't the determining factors affecting geo-political machinations and international economics just leave our kitchen cupboards alone? Nutella fans are the latest to suffer, as the price of their beloved jar of chocolatey goodness is on the way up - but this time Brexit is not to blame. Prices have already increased by 38% in a year and are set to continue to rise. A regular 400g jar will set you back approximately £2.50 compared to just over £2 last year. The reason for the price hike is due to the shortage of hazelnuts. According to The Mirror, there was a poor harvest in Turkey which resulted in less being produced. Some farmers have no hazelnuts while others are holding on to theirs to make a bigger profit. Hazelnuts aren't the only nut affected this year with supplies of cashews and peanuts dropping due to poor weather conditions. Stock up on the nuts while you can.
