Soaring cost of energy, oil and potatoes sees chip shop prices rise by a fifth | VRT NWS: news

As many of you will already have noticed, a trip to the local chip shop has become more expensive in recent months. The price of your order has increased by an average of 10 to 20 percent. The high price of energy, a big increase in the price of cooking oil, and a hike in food costs have forced many chip shop owners to increase the price they charge us for a portion of chips. Many of us visit our local chip shop regularly and for many families it is a weekly treat.
