The Freddo Index - The State of the British Economy since 2000 WHAT HAPPENED, BRITAIN? WHERE DID WE GO SO WRONG? This means that if we were subjected to the same terrible Freddo treatment as our brothers on the other side of the world, you'd be being charged 45p for the equivalent weight - and the price would reach the equivalent of 80p in 2030. In 2015, the weight of a Freddo reduced further, from 15g > 12g.In 2013, an Aussie Freddo reduced in weight from 20g > 15g.If the price of a Freddo had increased alongside inflation, it would cost just 15p today - and still weigh the original 20g, instead of the measly 18g version we ‘enjoy’ today. This means that the new 2030 prediction sits at a monstrous 53p. With Freddo prices not expected to hit 30p until after 2020 - even by the history of flagrant above-inflation prices rises - this is bad news.
In March 2018 - as of March 8th - Freddo prices dropped for the first time, falling back to 25p - a price first reached in 2014.Īlthough this price is still a long way above the price according to inflation since 2000, it's a start.Ī Freddo will now cost a more manageable 36p by the year 2030, having risen 4.36% per year.īritish people are known around the world for that one timeless question a question that defines us the question that determines the state of our once great nation:Īs of May 2017, Freddo prices are shockingly jumping to 30p - even earlier than we predicted. “Things aren't that bad”, I hear you say. That's why vouchercloud decided to see just how much has changed since 2000, comparing prices of some of the old-school favourites from back in the day with today - and what the price of a Freddo should be, according to inflation. We're living in a world where tearful millennials are forking over notes for childhood treats that would, once upon a time, have barely made a dent in your pocket money (and that's without even mentioning Freddo prices). Long gone are the days of stepping into your local shop with £1 and emerging with enough sugar to fuel you for an entire week.
