Cost of Living Creeps Up: Housing, LPG Drive June Inflation

Have you felt like your grocery bill is stretching your wallet a little more than usual? Or maybe your rent’s gone up and you’re wondering why? There’s a reason your wallet feels lighter.

Here’s where it gets interesting, it’s not just food that’s getting more expensive. The biggest jump came from housing and fuel, with the cost of a hundred-pound cylinder of LPG shooting up by over thirteen dollars. The silver lining? Fuel prices at the pump actually dipped a bit. So, what’s going up, what’s coming down, and how does your area stack up? News Five’s Isani Cayetano takes a closer look.
