    Australian grocery prices DOUBLE in a year with some surprises

    PART

    Soft drink prices have almost doubled in just a year with new data showing Australians are paying a lot more for everyday groceries.

    Consumer groups One Big Switch and Frugl Grocery compared the prices of common items in February 2021 and February 2022.

    In many cases, prices are surging at rates well beyond inflation, with double-digit annual increases for soft drinks, instant coffee, baked beans, canned fruit and minced meat.

    Two-litre bottles of orange Fanta sold at Coles had the biggest increase, with prices surging by 94 per cent, almost doubling from $2.35 to $4.55.
