Baby book - cost of things

[Jill72]

I wanted to put a page in my baby book of how much things cost such as milk, stamps, petrol, cinema ticket and so on. Thought I would easily find a list on the internet but - nothing. Anyone else found this magic list anywhere???

I doubt there is a list because it varies in different places? just look how much it is in your local area and use those prices, is probably the best idea

I found this showing average costs based in London:
www.workgateways.com/working-cost-of-living.html

And this:
www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/questions/cost.html

Maybe check some of your recent shopping receipts too?

Just go to Tesco

Why don't you do a small shop in your local place and then pop the receipt in the book, then she will have a record of where you were and what you were buying whilst pregnant?

It will probably differ from person to person. I am an expert in bargain hunting, I don't buy the cheapest and I don't buy the most expensive.
Some mums would prefer more costly brands so obviously for them it would be more costly than for other mums who are not bothered about brand names.

...Its a bit of a random list too Do you mean how much a family would spend per week?
I don't really buy stamps unless I want to send a letter which is pretty rare nowdays. I don't go to the cinema as DD is still too young for that and me and DH don't go.
We don't use much petrol now as we live in London.

Just wanted to provide a reference of how much common items were when she was born. I remember buying mars bars fir twenty pence!! I think I will just have to do the leg work myself - like the idea of putting a shopping bill!

Right - I am making a start on creating this page in my baby journal. This is my list so far - any other ideas??
