I think you've missed the point.
These are just 2 of my outgoings. Council tax will no doubt go up by 5.9%, which is 'just' £80/year. Food prices are going up too.

Today I discover that my season ticket has increased by 'just' £1 a game.
All of these costs, (and many others) have to be put together. So...
