The cost of your weekly supermarket basket of food has gone up by up to £7 since the start of the coronavirus lockdown, according to retail insider The Grocer.
Data compiled using 33 items people most often buy shows the price of our essential shopping has rocketed in the last three to four weeks.
Month on month the cost of your shop has spiralled thanks to lockdown factors - including many supermarkets suspending discounts and abandoning multi-buys.
Data shows that weekly shopping at Asda is £3.02 more expensive (£73.65 for the basket), which is a 4.3 per cent increase, while a Morrisons basket has increased by almost 10pc at £7.03 - up to £80.54
Morrisons says the increase is largely down to one item in the baskets - Ariel 3in1 pods which have gone up £2.71 from £9.29 to £12.
A weekly shop at Waitrose with rice, pasta, bread, meats, soup and other essentials has increased by 4.8 per cent to £90.82 and on average, a rise of £2.60 was measured across all supermarkets.
Sainsbury's and Tesco have both seen prices fall slightly - Sainsbury's by 47p to £76.26 and Tesco by 74p to £77.78.
The price of coffee has gone up by more than a £1 in the past month and washing powder or liquid for clothes is up by around £2 since the end of February.
The figures echo a report published by the Official for National Statistics (ONS) this week that also shows supermarket prices for in-demand products has jumped by up to eight per cent over the past month.
The greatest price increase they recorded was on pet food, which has risen by 8.4pc, followed by rice which increased by 5.8pc.
Furthermore, the price of nappies went up by 3.4pc since before lockdown, and antibacterial wipes shot up by 3.3pc, according to ONS data.
However some prices have plummeted, including those for pasta sauces, which dropped by 4.5pc, and baby food, which decreased by 4.1pc.
The ONS added that food prices have been relatively stable following the lockdown on March 23, which could have been influenced by government warnings over stockpiling and retailers using the pandemic to push up prices.
A Waitrose spokesman said: "We always aim to offer our customers consistently good value across our ranges and we check prices across all lines every week, however prices can be subject to market fluctuations."
