Yes, I'm in the Uk and it sounds the same as you describe in the US. Inflation rates are very variable depending on the product.

From memory, in my local supermarket for example,

tea is still about 0.90/1.00 a box.

Freshly squeezed orange juice has gone from about 1.60 to 2.20

Butter has gone up a lot (don't have numbers)

chocolate biscuits not much increase (why not?)

milk prices are higher for organic, not so much increase on non-organic.

Fruit and vegetables a bit higher maybe, but not that noticeable as yet.

I can't think of much that's gone down, but it might have done.

edit: found and correct juice price 2.30->2.20

> Butter has gone up a lot (don't have numbers)

Was pretty stable (over years) at:

    Country Life - £1.40-1.60
    Waitrose (supermarket) own - £1.30-1.40

Now:

    CL - £2.65
    Waitrose - £2.20

and that's where it's settled, was pretty volatile (up to a pound or so higher) for a while.

What's curious to me is that milk & cheese don't seem to have gone up so much nor been so volatile.

I'm really surprised you say that, because in my experience all 3 of those have massively gone up in price.

Like I said in my other comment - 4 pints of milk have gone up from 1.10 to 1.55(40% increase), countrylife butter(we buy the 500g pack) could be had for £3, maybe even £2.50 in a deal, now it's £4.25 at both tesco and sainsburys.

Tesco also removed their cheese deal which they had for years, where you could buy any two packs for £3, it went up to £3.50, and now it's £4 for two packs. Literally a 33% increase in less than a year.

I noticed cereal has gone up a lot (£5 for Weetabix) but bread hasn't really. Not sure why that would be.

I think bread is often a loss-leader for supermarkets - my local Morrisons has amazing fresh bread by the entrance for just 60p a loaf.

I'm sure it must cost more than that to have an in-store bakery constantly churning them out.

Bread definitely has gone up, it's not as dramatic but this loaf has gone from £1.10 to £1.25 in under a year: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/300134377

That's still a 13% rise, even if it's not as dramatic as the near 50% on things like butter.
