£6 for a steak bake: How much would everyday items cost if they rose in line with energy?

The energy price cap will rise again in October, sending the average household’s yearly bill from £1,971 to £3,549.

The cap increased for approximately 22 million customers on April 1, a rise of 54%. Those on default tariffs paying by direct debit saw an increase of £693 from £1,277 to £1,971 per year.

It was then announced on Friday morning that the cap will increase again in October – this time by 80% to £3,549.

That means energy prices will have risen by some 178% from last winter.

STV News looks at how much other items – such as groceries, cinema tickets and a pint of beer – would cost had their prices increased at the same rate as gas and electricity.
