A large chunk of my income is spent at the pumps, and I'm pretty sure there's been a significant year-on-year increase in the price of fuel.
Loaf of bread? More expensive.
Jar of peanut butter? More expensive.
I'm paying more for my council tax, gas, electric and water (per unit) than I was a year ago.

To be fair, that's quite an esoteric existence - driving to the supermarket to get fuel and peanut butter sandwiches...Loaf of bread? More expensive.

To the OP I've had to or have been forced to, up the housekeepers monthly allowance by 20%

Feels more like 20-30 percent on food.
Agreed. Biweekly bill is rarely below £140 these days, wasn't that long ago that £100 would cover it.Spending more on insurance too now. Haven't claimed off our own insurance (car, health, house, contents, life) for years and years. Yet its become a major spend.
This is hilarious.
I keep records of all my fuel purchases and on Feb 11th 2011 I paid 127.9p a litre.
Last night I filled up at the same petrol station for 132.9p. That is an increase of 3.9%.
Council Tax is the same as last year.
Mortgage the same as last year.
Gas bills much higher, as are lectricity, but my mortgage spend is way higher than my utilities spend.
Rail travel is about 6% higher.
Where is this figure of 8% plus coming from in the poll results???

A year ago ox cheeks were £4.99/Kg at Waitrose, they're now £5.99/Kg. 20% right there.
In the summer I started baking my own bread. A bag of good bread flour cost £1.49 - it's now £1.89. That's a 26% increase in six months.
