UK inflation: which goods and services have changed most in price? | Inflation

The UK’s annual inflation rate fell to 6.7% in August, its lowest level since February last year, amid a slowdown in food and drink prices and despite a jump in the cost of petrol and diesel.

The Office for National Statistics compiled the overall reading using the consumer prices index but also logs prices for individual goods and services. Here we look at how the cost of many of those everyday items have changed over the past year.
