People are now paying more for low-fat milk, olive oil and sugar than they were 12 months' ago. These items top the list of increased prices of everyday products during the cost-of-living crisis.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation dropped from 10.5% in December to 10.1% last month. But this inflation was driven more by some items than others.
The cost of low-fat milk, for instance, rose by more than any other category in the 12 months to January. It contributed towards food being one of the areas where prices had risen by the most, the ONS showed.
