How much have everyday goods and services has risen in the past year? Everyone's food shops have gone up this year but new figures show the biggest jump has been in milk, with low-fat milk going up by 40pc since last year. Other big hikes include butter, up 30pc, and eggs, up 19 pc.
The figures based on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) measure of inflation have been published by the Office for National Statistics.
There's also been big jumps for carbohydrates, bread had gone up by 13pc, potatoes by 16pc, rice by 9pc. Fruit and vegetable juices, tea, and coffee have also been hit, going up by 11pc, 11pc, and 9pc respectively. Alcohol hasn't escaped the inflation, with beer up 4pc and wine 2pc.
It's not just food shops that are getting more expensive, clothes prices are creeping up as well. Garments for men are up 9pc and for women up 8pc, while parents who bought new school uniforms over the summer will know kids clothes went up 7pc.
Gas prices have, of course, also shot up, with the price 96pc higher than this time last year, while liquid fuels like petrol have gone up 86pc. Cars themselves have also got more expensive, with the cost of a new car up 7pc from last year, and a second-hand car up 5pc.
Anyone hoping to save money by sticking to public transport will also see prices increase, although not by as much. Train tickets are up 9pc, bus and coach tickets up almost the same, and underground and tram tickets are up 5pc.
The figures come amid the worsening cost-of-living crisis, with petrol and household item prices soaring and taxes and interest rates also going up. Households have been told to brace for a tough winter, with families having to come up with the money to pay bills or face living in the cold.
