As householders are seeing the price of everything go up, the rise in the cost of everyday food items has been laid bare.
New data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows the cost of vegetable oil rose to 65% while pasta rose 60% in a year. Other huge increases include the price of tea, which had risen by 46% while chips were up 39%, bread rose by 38% and biscuits were up 34%, the Mirror reports.
However, despite huge increases on some essential items, others saw a fall in price including orange juice which fell by 9%, minced beef which was down 7%, sugar by 0.3% and rice by 0.2%. The ONS looked at 1.5million online prices over the 12 months to September 2022, with the figures representing the difference in lowest prices.
