Daily MailAustralians have been feeling the pinch at the supermarket check out, and now analysis by Daily Mail Australia shows precisely how much the prices of staple products have risen. LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS Analysis conducted by Daily Mail Australia shows products, once considered staples in households across the nation, have risen by as much as 106 per cent in just four years Poll Has your grocery bill changed dramatically?
