Revision: Inflation Targets and Measurement

In one of the newspapers this morning there’s an article on this.

It basically includes a table of a typical basket of goods containing food products. It shows the price changes over the years for them.

I do believe they were saying an average box of 6 eggs or something were £1.80 a couple of years ago and now are around the £2.50 mark.

I’ll dig it out later on and finish off my comment here.
