Price of a loaf of bread rises by 11,000% in the past 100 years thanks to inflation - and will hit £150 by 2115 if prices rise at the same rate
The increase in prices means someone today would need £8,970 just to afford the same items you could buy for £100 in 1915, the figures from Lloyds Private Banking show. Or looking at it the other way round, £1.11 in 1914 would get you goods to the value of £100 today.
Some items have seen even greater leaps in price. Bread, for example has seen inflation of 11,000 per cent since 1914. A loaf cost well under a penny in 1914 - now the average loaf costs £1.35.
