Britain's cheapest brands of pasta and bread have surged in price over the past year, but overall the cost of lower-priced food and drink staples has risen at a similar pace to average prices, the Office for National Statistics said.
The cost of the cheapest 500 gram pack of pasta at a British supermarket last month was 53 pence , a 50% increase from 36 pence a year earlier, while the price of an 800 gram loaf of bread rose by 16% to 54 pence.
However, average prices for the cheapest brands of food and drink across 30 staple categories rose by 6-7%, the ONS said, the same as for food and drink overall. The cost of potatoes fell 14%, cheese prices were down 7% and pizzas cost 4% less than a year before.
