It's not what you've got; it's where you stick it.
My wife works in the food industry - lots and lots of conversations going on at the moment as with margins squeezed massively due to sterling's depreciation, manufacturers are faced with the choice of (a) raising prices, (b) reducing the size of products or (c) producing an inferior product with cheaper ingredients.
Speaking with a couple of independent food/drink places round my way recently, their already super slim margins will be wiped out entirely if they don't start raising prices, as the exchange rates are killing them and they're seriously worried about the short/medium term viabilities.

Alternatively, our shellfish export industry has enjoyed a good boost while the Pound was low against the Euro. Fishermen were getting prices for lobster at the end of October we would normally only expect to pay at the beginning of December and although crab prices haven't been great with the quantities about we would/could have seen much lower being paid so overall a good little spell for part of the economy. Things are slowly coming back in line so the upshot of that will be that the fishermen will see less of a seasonal jump in their prices for December but overall i think they will have benefitted from the situation. Of course volatility is no use for any industry long term ad i do have sympathy with those importing, what I mean is that my box of wine off our Spanish lorry drivers has gone up by £10! I'm now having to pay £50 for 12 bottles, tough times tough choices......
