Pasta price in UK doubles as costs of basics rises
BBC, 25 Feb 2023
The price of pasta in the UK has nearly doubled in two years, new research for the BBC suggests.
A standard 500g bag of pasta was 50p two years ago - now it's 95p.
The BBC has been tracking the cost of a small basket of 15 everyday essentials, from oven chips and strawberry jam to pasta sauce and potatoes. The total has gone up by £5.34 - from £15.79 in 2021 to £21.13 in 2023.
Official figures suggest overall UK inflation may have peaked at 11.1% in October. But the rate of food price rises is still running at 16.7%.
