In Victorian times (1837-1901), prices varied widely depending on the item and location. For example, a loaf of bread cost about 4 to 6 pence, while a pint of beer was around 3 pence. A new suit could cost between 1 to 3 pounds, and a typical working-class family might spend around £1 per week on food. Overall, the cost of living was relatively low compared to today, but wages were also much lower, impacting purchasing power.
