household goods which have remained stable. In terms of food
that is
not as important as leisure in 2018,
however
, in 1968, it was the reverse which in order was 30 per
cent
and just over 15 per
cent
of costs which meal was the most important part of prices for people in 1968. As regards housing,
that is
equal in expenses to clothing and footwear in 1968 which was a tenth of expenses, whilst in 2018 housing was in second place and clothing and footwear were in fifth place.
In addition
, under five per
cent
of prices belonged to fuel and power in 2018 which was the same as personal equipment,
however
in 1968 the fuel and power were not quite as important as private merchandise.
Moreover
, household commodities were nowhere near as necessary as transport in 2018, in fact, the transport costs in 2018 were twice as vital as household equipment, but in 1968 they were the same at just under 10 per
cent
.
