Strange - the food we regularly buy hasn't gone up by that sort of figure (and we are shopping for a family of 3-4 (depending on the time of the year), and we shop at Morrisons every week) - our weekly bill has probably gone up from around £85 per week to about £90 per week in the last year.
And as for electricity and gas bills, ours has gone up around 15%, but we now have the rate fixed for two years, so that will even out over the years.
Somehow, our evidence seems to contradict each others (in parts) - perhaps that's why CPI is taken from a basket of around 600 items, so that outliers don't skew the figures....
