What will go up in price fastest?

So I'm sure over the next few weeks the price of everything will continue to rise rapidly but are there any particular items people think will increase in price quicker than the rest? I'd like to stock up / prepare where I can by buying things now if I'm able Aside from food related things, what do people think for instance will happen to the price of clothing etc?

Clothes have already gone up in price. Most bills have too

Anything bulky that needs transporting eg loo rolls.
Eating Out, hairdressers, launderettes, swimming pools, ice rinks, cinemas - anything using energy and heat in quantity.

Heated throws-I can't decide whether to buy 2 now and risk saving up for another 4 later then not being able to afford them. 🙁Or whether to overpay the prepayment meter by 30 September. I've found ones that cost £27 each-is that a good deal?
The cheapest pasta has just gone up from 23p to 35p overnight. I think oil, tinned food and baking goods are next, then pressure cookers and microwaves and flasks and blankets etc.

@GerronBuzanDoThaWomwok I think £27 sounds about right for a heated throw from what I've seen but worth checking out FB marketplace first in case you can pick one up cheaper from there.
I recently bought on eBay my DC's some lovely vintage 100% wool cellular blankets as their room gets cold at night.
I've still got quite a lot of tins from stocking up pre Covid - DH was adamant we needed lots of tins of different types of beans which of course the DC don't like 🙄. I plan to batch cook some stews and stick the beans in.

@GerronBuzanDoThaWomwok can I ask which throws you're going for ?

They're made by Glowmaster and I found them on a cheap deal website, I think it was cheapdeals4you or similar. I've also seen them on Amazon for about £34, so I'm still dithering!
