What this means for people Food and energy can jump around. This shows how fast the rest of the basket is rising.

How to read this Food and energy are left out Energy, food, alcoholic drinks and tobacco are left out. Those prices can move a lot, so this can differ from the prices a household notices.
Compared with a year ago Each figure compares prices with the same month a year earlier. It is not the change since last month.
Not the 2% target The 2% target applies to overall CPI. This measure has no target of its own.
An average basket This is still an average of things people buy. Your prices may rise faster or slower, depending on what you spend money on.
