Cadbury Dairy Milk Freddo Chocolate Bar (Pack of 60)

Product Information

There were a couple of dates handily filled in by some old news sources - AOL and BBC included - but we've filled in some of the gaps with first-hand experience and insider knowledge. Beano Inflation figures are based off the accurate historical data, and predictions for the future are based on a static rise of inflation based on the average rate over the last 16 years (around 3.9%). Although this price is still a long way above the price according to inflation since 2000, it's a start. Once upon a time, the cinema used to be something you didn't have to plan an entire weekend's budget around - with adult prices not too long ago sitting just below a fiver, kids were welcomed with something even cheaper. So next time you hear someone say those words 'How much does a Freddo cost?' maybe offer them a kind word before you answer.

As Andrew Burns of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy added: “A pound is buying less, yet demand is increasing. I hate to use the phrase, but it’s a perfect storm of uncertainty and financial challenges all going in the wrong direction.” If you needed another stark reminder about the ever rising rate of inflation, and cost of living, seeing a Freddo listed as 26p will be it. True, it is lower than the dizzy heights of 30p which it reached in 2017, but for reference, the last time Freddos were 10p was in 2006 (oh, the good old days).

Instead, we're left with a 60p bill (87p come 2030) on a bar that's also notoriously shrunk over the years. Weight of a Mars Bar

As frustrating as this is, it is worth remembering that it isn't just Freddos - and chocolate more generally - that have become casualties of the cost of living crisis. Prices have soared on hundreds of items at a time when most people can ill afford it. 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. On the whole though, it's been remarkably close to the appropriate figure - 1p difference this year, in fact - and is a great example of how big business doesn't have to rip us off for our fast-food staples and nostalgic endeavours.
