It's easy to miss tiny price rises. A few pence here or there doesn't usually register, but over the years and the decades, they start to add up, and before you know it, price rises have become eye-watering.

For example, take a trip back in time to the 1970s. How much did a loaf of bread cost? And how much was a pint in your local? The shocking fact is that you could have purchased both of these items for less than a pound.

GoCompare have produced a quiz that will let you test your knowledge. But, the best thing about it is that it's taken inflation into account.

So, yes prices may be a lot higher these days but with the cost of living taken into account, how much difference does it actually make?

For example, how much do you think a pocket calculator cost in 1972? It might be a lot more than you expect!

Now we all know that the price of going to the cinema has increased in the last few years. But, you may be more than a little shocked to know that it would have only set you back 90p in 1970! These days you might have to hand over £10 if you want to see the latest flick.

Curious to see what else has gone up in price? Take the interactive quiz below to test your knowledge!
