The general way to do it is to find the Consumer Price Index (CPI) - although not perfect, it does track the prices of a great deal of commonly purchased products. It is also widely available.

To calculate the rate of inflation (assuming they don't give it to you automatically), just divide the current years number (lets say 110) from the previous year (100) and you'll get a percentage (1.1, or 10% increase).

Hope this helps!
