Consumers concerned about sharp rises in the cost of their grocery shopping should consider themselves lucky after a study by The Grocer magazine found a typical basket of goods now costs one-thirteenth of what it did in 1862.
A shopper in the Victorian era would need £1,254.17 in real terms to fill their larder each week, compared to just £93.95 today. The magazine calculated the increase in prices by applying an average earnings measure of inflation to the 1862 prices of a basket of commonly-bought goods. The study looked at 33 items such as a dozen eggs, bread, hot chocolate, grapes, a toothbrush and a litre of sherry.
The analysis found a Victorian shopper would need to spend a third of their monthly income on food. Today, modern consumers spend less than 10% of their income on groceries. T

Do you ever feel like you’re in over your head when it comes to credit card debt? There can be many reasons consumers like you get into serious debt, and it isn’t always as simple as someone being irresponsible.

To give you some examples, here are three reasons your credit card debt might have gotten out of control, and what you can do about each of them.

The federal government’s finances are pretty complicated and not always easy to understand, and most of CBO’s reports about the budget outlook are fairly lengthy and detailed. In fact, one of the questions we’re most frequently asked is how much the government spends and takes in each year. For those who are not very familiar with the budget, finding the answer is sometimes harder than it should be.
CBO’s newest infographic—that is, information presented in a graphic form—describes some key elements of the federal budget, including a breakdown of its major components and a visual history of the budget and federal debt over the past 40 years. This graphical budget primer is more accessible than some of our longer reports, and we’re hopeful that it will make the federal budget easier to understand.
Today’s infographic is the latest installment in our ongoing effort to present more budgetary information in a graphic form. Thi
