An old receipt dating back to 1995 shows how different supermarket prices were compared to today. The receipt, from a Kwik Save store was shared to social media, and it shows quite a contrast in prices.
The shop, containing a total of 38 items in the trolley, came to a total of £24.79. Items included Flora, Penguin biscuits, a box of Tetley tea and toothpaste. Chris Eyres had discovered the receipt in a box which belonged to his late mother, reports the Echo.
Using an Inflation calculator, £24.79 in 1995 is worth £60.97 in today's climate in the UK, an increase of £36.18 over the 28 year period. The pound had an average inflation rate of 3.27 per cent each year between 1995 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 145.96 per cent according to in2013dollars.com.
