When it comes to shopping for food or eating out, many of us will have noticed that we're spending a bit more.
Thanks to the cost of living crisis, we are seeing anything and everything rise in price from the occasional sweet treats to essentials.
However during a recent trip to a Wetherspoons in Glasgow, some customers were left baffled over the chain's new prices - but there’s a simple explanation behind it all, reports the Mirror.

The attention to the menu came as one TikToker shared her confusion after her most recent visit to one of the pubs - and he video has received so much attention it's now viral with almost 900k views.
Wondering if she’d had more to drink than she realised when she looked at the menu, social media user @brodie_bites_ said: "Can someone please explain what on Earth has happened to Wetherspoons prices?
"We went to Spoons on the way home from Glasgow the other night just to grab something to eat because we had been drinking and realised we hadn't actually eaten yet.
"The point of this video is because for the first time in ages we've been to Spoons and normally it's like £1.29 for coleslaw, £10.59 for a burger and a drink - what the hell is this?
"£4.03 for soup, £5.54 for nachos - like what? £5.27 for a panini and a drink - what is actually going on?
"It continues throughout the whole menu, such bizarre pricing and even the side dishes, it's 81p for a side of chilli and £4.03 for chips, like I just don't understand it."

Others in the comments agreed and voiced their own confusion over the prices when they had been to their closest Wetherspoon. However in response to some comments one user said: "Guys she’s not complaining it’s expensive she’s saying the random pennies on the end" to which the original uploaded replied: "Thank you. I'm so glad someone gets it."
But there is a simple explanation behind it all. Last month the chain, which runs 843 pubs in the UK and Ireland, announced they were increasing their prices by 7.5 per cent - and they've done exactly that.
For instance a pint of Carlsberg that was £2.39 is now 7.5 per cent more at £2.57, Stella has similarly gone from £3.35 to £3.60 and Leffe from £3.85 to £4.14.
Pub chain spokesman, Eddie Gherson, told the Daily Star: “Wetherspoon has increased prices on food and drink by 7.5 percent.
“We believe that our prices are still very competitive in all the locations that we trade."
