The nation's favourite tomato ketchup - the 910g bottle - has risen 60% from £2.49 to £3.99, according to The Grocer.
This is considerably higher than November last year, where prices of Heinz tomato ketchup were £3.50 from Asda and Sainsburys.
Tesco back then offered a price of £3.49, while Morrisons charged £3.85 for the product.
For little ones, the Peppa Pig snap pots, which is pasta shapes in tomato sauce, have shot up 100% from £1 to £2.

The price of the most popular branded food products has soared by as much as 107% in the last two years, according to the latest research from Which?.
And prices, on average, have increased across the most basic Heinz products, including their beloved tomato ketchup and beans tins.
But Heinz isn't the only brand that have hiked up their prices in many stores.
With the cost of living crisis at the forefront of many families minds, the last they want is their favourite products increasing in price.
