[size=14]The UK’s annual inflation rate fell in January, continuing a decline to 10.1% from a peak of 11.1% in October. But households remain under pressure as prices continue to rise for a wide range of goods and services.
Despite the fall in the headline reading, the price of many goods and services continued to rise at a much faster rate.
The [size=14]Office for National Statistics compiled the overall figures using the consumer prices index but also logs individual goods and service prices. Here we break down how those everyday items have shot up in price over the past year.
In each case, the figure is the percentage change in the average price over the 12 months to January.
