Full list of items getting more expensive as UK slammed with inflation

The cost of living is a hot topic at the moment, and for all the wrong reasons, as Brits brace for hikes in everything from fuel to food.

People in Wales, are set to see a helpful £150 extra to aid them in tackling the pinch. All houses in tax brackets A to D are set to benefit from the £330 million packages immediately.

The looming cost of living crisis is widespread, with households fighting a war on multiple fronts as a large variety of different essentials stand to go up in price.

However, the overall increases in costs are not split evenly across goods and sectors. Instead, some items are set to see substantially larger increases than others.
