This year, Britons will have to pay more for their festive dinner
Prices of many products in the "Christmas set" have risen much faster than inflation, a BBC analysis showed. Turkey, potatoes, Brussels sprouts and red wine have become noticeably more expensive.
A box of crackers has risen in price by an average of 41% compared to 2015. If it used to cost an average of £7.7, now it is £10.9. Prices for carrots and cranberry sauce have remained almost unchanged.
A Good Housekeeping study showed that you can save money on Christmas dinner through sales and promotions in stores. But this will take time: shoppers have to visit several stores in search of the cheapest product.
According to the BBC, inflation in the UK was only 0.9% in October. Experts expected higher price growth amid the devaluation of the pound, which has fallen by about 16% against the dollar since June.
