Not an expert, but economically speaking it would depend if they are imported or local.

My prediction:

Things you need - up

Things you don't need - down

Wages/rates - down

Inflation is now at 3.5%

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8517156.stm

The UK inflation rate rose to 3.5% in January - the fastest annual pace for 14 months - from 2.9% the month before, official figures have shown.

Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation was driven up by VAT returning to 17.5% and higher petrol prices.

Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation which includes housing costs, rose up to 3.7% in January, up from 2.4%.

Price up:

Transport repairs
Carrots
DVDs

Price down:

Long-haul flights
Ferry fares
Women's coats

Damn, I was going to buy carrots today so instead I'm going to buy a 1st class flight to Australia.
