A typical UK food shopping basket that cost about £25 in September 2020 is now 50.24% more expensive, with prices up by roughly £13, according to newly reported data.
The figures show that multiple everyday items rise at different rates over the period. Chocolate, olive oil and eggs are among the products cited as seeing the biggest increases.
