The Price Of Cadbury’s Creme Eggs And Other British Products 10 Years Ago Vs Today

ADVERTISEMENT

The Creme Egg price is often discussed every year when they roll back onto the shelves ready for Easter to tempt us..

Did you know in the past year the Creme Egg price has jumped from 33p to almost double at 65p in 2018?

Our data shows that if you had one cheeky Creme Egg a week on a fixed price, this decade you could have saved almost £17.

The petrol price hike is every driver’s worst enemy, but it’s an unfortunate necessity. Let’s see how much extra you’ve been paying over the past 10 years for your unleaded litres.

£38,280 over 10 years, the ongoing petrol price increase is costing us all an extra £3,820 every year!

Today’s graduates are stumbling out of the drunken haze of University with at least £27,000 debt from tuition fees. Go back to any point before 2012 and that would only be £9,000, you don’t need a degree in maths to work out that depressing statistic.

With degrees claiming to offer up to £12,000 more to a student’s salary every year, hopefully, it’s a worthwhile financial gamble.

Ten years ago, some healing medication would have cost a measly £6.35, whereas a prescription today comes with a £8.60 charge.

Over 10 years that’s a huge £1170 for weekly prescriptions. Let’s all agree to try to stay out of accidents and away from those with colds from now on. Whilst saving money would be nice, the odd prescription is a charge any of us will accept to get back out of bed, I’m sure you’ll all agree.

Taking Apple’s official advice that an iPhone should only last three years, back in 2007, you would have saved £2,158 than what you pay today. That’s 3,320 Creme Eggs!

To power our expensive iPhones, we need energy and this does not come cheaply. Fuel inflation has pushed prices up year on year, back in 2007 the variable tariff costs almost £1040. T

he fixed rate tariff however, costs you just over £950 and that’s today’s prices, some things fortunately don’t have to increase over 10 years.

When I’m not doing these things you’ll probably find me ranting about the subversive nature of capitalism or the heteronormative patriarchy to whoever is unfortunate enough to be in earshot.
