The consumer price index (CPI for short) is an index derived from an average cost of things such as groceries, electricity, petrol, etc. from year to year. This is likely the best indicator to the cost of living info you want.
If you want to research this in more detail, the goverment maintains a site with everything you're likely to be looking for.
