Prices for everyday items like toilet paper, butter, and ketchup are higher in the UK than in some other European countries. However, the UK is cheaper for things like diapers and frozen pizza, according to a study.

The study looked at the prices of 23 different food and non-food items in France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands. When they added up the costs, Germany came out as the cheapest and France as the most expensive.

For example, in the UK, people typically pay £3.80 for toilet paper, while in Italy it costs £2.66 and in Germany £2.87. Canned fish like tuna costs £1.62 in the UK but can be as expensive as £3.15 in Italy and £2.51 in Spain.

There are various factors that can affect price differences, such as competition, eating habits, and food production. This study provides an overview of how prices compare between countries, but it’s important to consider other factors as well.
