Anyone buying a television or washing machine in the coming weeks may have to search hard for a bargain as the cost of buying or replacing everyday household goods is rocketing, according to analysis.
A washing machine typically costs £161 more than it did two years ago, while a cooker will set someone back £334 more on average, a website has found. Those who need a new television, meanwhile, can expect to pay £49 more than they would have done two years ago, while a tablet is now £74 more expensive on average.
Price comparison website PriceRunner carried out the analysis using its own data, as well as commissioning a survey to find out the everyday prices that people have noticed increasing.
