Total cost of 10 key items for a family of four increases to £27.48 amid food price inflation
The price of a Christmas dinner is more than 3% higher than last year, led by an increase in the price of frozen turkey, traditional puddings and sprouts.
The total cost of 10 key items for a family of four nudged up 3.4% to £27.48 as rising prices of some of the most expensive ingredients in the festive blow-out offset a fall in the price of basic vegetables including potatoes, carrots and parsnips and of cranberry sauce, analysts at Kantar found.
