How Much Have Our Favourite Meals Increased In Cost in the Last 5 Years?
Methodology
To find out how the Uk’s favourite meals have increased in price since 2019, GoForma took the UK’s top 20 favorite meals according to a 2021 survey by gravy brand Bisto. To put together the 2024 cost of these meals they looked up each meal’s recipe on BBC Good Food’s website and then looked up the cost of each ingredient, by weight on Tesco’s website.
To find out the 2019 cost of all these meals they looked at the Office of National Statistics’ Consumer Price Index and calculated the percentage increase of cost by ingredient.
Please note that there are some instances where there was no price change data for specific ingredients. In these instances GoForma used data on the closest higher level food category. An example of this is herbs and spices, where they used data for herbs and spices as a whole rather than specific data for each herb and spice.
