With the cost of living crisis starting to bite, families face an even harder punch to the pocket with food prices going up sharply.
Research from data analytics firm Kantar revealed that food prices in the UK are now 5.2% higher than they were a year ago - and the speed of this rise is the highest in nearly a decade
According to the firm's previous research, savoury snacks, fresh beef and cat food alone increased by 4.3%, with the firm predicting in February that annual food shopping bills might rise by an average of £180 due to inflation.
