Aldi giving away free breakfasts as parents admit to skipping meals to feed children in cost of living crisis

It’s estimated that there are 2.1 million adults in the UK now using foodbanks as the cost of living crisis continues to hit low income families hardest. Now, Aldi is launching an Adult’s Breakfast Club to help millions of parents who are skipping breakfast to ensure their children have enough food to eat.

Research from the supermarket showed that 44 per cent of parents from lower income families are skipping meals to ensure their children don’t go hungry, with breakfast being the most common one to miss.

And with 47 per cent of parents now experiencing more financial pressure to feed the family compared to six months ago, it is estimated that almost two in three admit they’re likely to go hungry so their little ones don’t have to.
