Food for thought: applying house price inflation to household goods prices - 2014 edition
If prices had increased at the same rate as house prices since 1971, then:
A 4-pint carton of milk would cost £10.48
A chicken would cost £51.33
A bunch of 6 bananas would cost £8.49
A loaf of sliced white bread would cost £4.37
The average weekly expenditure on food for a family of four would be £454.55
A pair of pyjamas would cost £111.40
A pair of slippers would cost £85.19
A pair of short nylon socks would cost £10.48.
