I am trying to come up with a list of these. I have noticed three in my own grocery/everyday expenses: Flour bag (nearly 6%), fare (5%) and bread (25-30% fr what i remember just a few days ago).
I suppose they were supposed to increase considering the loss of value for £ after Brexit vote. But I was too busy to take notice and only noticed these three.
Can we please try to document it somehow?

Not a stealth boast but I really haven't noticed the difference at all. Not in grocery shopping, nor job security etc.

There is a courgette shortage but don't think this is related!

Everything has gone up. 5p and 10p here and there and then some things have gone up by quite a bit.

Nor me, but I've recently realised I was being a mug paying £2-3 for Colgate when Sainsbury's own toothpaste is 55p. See also Rice Krispies/supermarket cereal. Feel a fool.

I just notice everything getting smaller. A bag of store-baked cookies - you used to get 5 for £1, then 4, now 3. That sort of thing.

We have to buy a few medical supplies that are imported from the USA for a rare disease. Obviously they have increased in price dramatically - we are paying about 60% more due to the decline in the pound.

I haven't noticed anything going up.

Our oil and electricity have gone down though and I only noticed that because they wrote to tell us.

Sainsburys butter. Autumn-time - 85p per pack. Pre-Christmas - £1.10 per pack. Today - £1.45 per pack. Almost doubled in 3 months.

I'm sure packets of things are slightly smaller and/or slightly lighter.

The price of lettuce/salad has increased like 400% in the last couple weeks due to the bad weather in Europe/north Africa. Was £1.85 for an iceberg lettuce in Aldi yesterday!

I notice things every week when I'm doing my online shop at Asda. The thing that sticks in my mind is the 500g box of grapes. Used to be £1.50, then £1.75 and now £1.95.

My favourite chocolate has gone up by about 10-15% depending on the shop.

Bus fares here have gone up about 12%

Almond butter is extortionate, gone up about 25%

Some clothes seem slightly more expensive, I'm sure H&M's children's clothes have generally risen by about 10%

Petrol. Up 15p since Christmas. I have a long commute so I really notice it. Yes, it's been this price before but it's suddenly shot back up after several months of lower prices.
