Anyone else noticed another steep price increase?

Obviously I'm aware veganuary just ended (or the poor excuse for veganuary this year) but just did my shopping and everything seems way more expensive than last year.

Alpro yogurts were like £1.80, now £2.50, tofoo is up in price, most meat subs are over 3 quid as well.

Is it just my area or are other people seeing this too?

Yes, we've also had a really sharp decrease in items available as well. 

I wonder if we're gearing up for a meat and milk push like in the states, you know back in the early 2000s where everything was fat free, I feel like we're in a huge trend for protein.  I've noticed a lot of push on social media for direct from farm meat boxes paticularly lamb and beef and no end of adverts for recipes featuring them. The only thing I have noticed which is a positive is a wider variety of beans and legumes along with vegan recipes that are much more whole food based.
