Most pubs seem to be putting it up unfortunately. I reckon with more people tapping their cards or running a tab you'll see more regular price increases as it wont be as obvious as getting change back into your hand.

With mortgage rates going down, anyone think they're in a better off position than 5 years ago?

I don't drive much so petrol doesn't impact me, Electricity is up €100/month or so but the mortgage probably cancels that increase.

Tesco has definitely gone up, routinely over €150 for a family shop, where it used to be about €100.

Any of you with Netflix about to be hit also. Basic package up a yoyo and the others up €2. Its such a pity that theyre not a very profitable successful company and have no choice but to hit peoples pockets. 

Mass cancellation of subscriptions would soon soften their cough but I doubt that’ll happen.

Fuel and food defo where the worst pain is felt. We have prepay gas and electricity and whereas you would get the whole month for 90 not so long ago on the electricy, it's about 140 (although I need to switch somewhere else to get back onto q better rate). Gas similar, going through about 6 quid a day. 
Don't have to fill the car as much with us both at home. It prob about 15 euro more to fill the car but only have to fill it once a month so not feeling it too bad.

Interest rates went up in Feb and ECB rates are due to go up in September/October.

Subscriber growth slowed for the first time last year, if you're not expanding your customer base the other way to keep profits growing is to increase the amount you get from each customer.

Some great shows on it to be fair, I'd definitely give up my sky subscription before Netflix at this stage
