Here in the USA i've noticed a few things

Home Prices: Up but selling your home is near impossible because no one is buying.

Grocery: Prices are up 25% from a year ago on basics like meat, milk and veggies. Also, the weekly sales are down.

Gas: While still nowhere near UK prices, gas is up about 60% from 2 years ago. But, when you include the fact that Americans drive 3 to 4 times longer distances than UK people we are paying waay more on the whole.

Utilities: About the same as in the UK. I recently paid some bills for a friend in the UK which is how I know! haha

All in all, the price of living in the US is more expensive than it is in the UK if you are in the UK, you make your money in pounds and you take the tube everywhere.
