I am from Germany and whenever I am in another European (western) country I realize that prices in Germany are pretty low, in comparison. The goods for your daily needs are rather cheap, in Germany there is a tough competition between the discount supermarkets which keeps prices down. We visited Scotland two years ago and we were appalled by the incredibly expensive prices for everything (it is a great place anyway :).
Of course, in Germany the costs of living also much depend on where you are. Cities like Munich, Berlin, or Frankfurt are more expensive than smaller ones, and generally, prices are higher in southern Germany than in the north, east, or west.

Many things are comparable prices and some are much cheaper.

Beer for example can be bought in a supermarket from as little as 15p a bottle and wine as little as £1.50 a bottle.
Petrol and diesel are cheaper too but not substantially.
Cigarettes are approx £3 for 20 and the prices are fixed by the government so the price is the same wherever you buy them.

I live in Germany and have for 3 years, I can't really comment on groceries because I am not in the UK often enough to know the prices.

From about 20% of the prices in england up to 120%. In general i would say the 1pound = 1euro rule as stated above is ok.
It's of course very diverse. You can have a whole meal in Berlin (or other cheap cities in east germany) for 4 Euro but also get one for 40 Euros. And it gets more expensive the more you get to the south of germany.

There is a good chance that there is a Lidl or Aldi supermarket not so far from you. You can see their prices for yourself but you will not recognise the brand names. The price war between German supermarkets is very cut throat, so much so that Walmart has just sold all its German stores and quit.

As a general rule of thumb, what costs £1 in the United Kingdom costs €1 in Germany.
Currently the rate of exchange is £1 = €1.4808 or €1 = £0.6753
