Residents in Leeds have shared how they are changing their day to day spending to cope with the burden of the cost of living crisis on their finances.
Every day essentials from heating, fuel, and food are rising faster than average household incomes. Recent data published in Leeds Live revealed that basic goods and services for a typical family with two young children are about £400 a month more expensive than they were last year.
Energy prices added about £120 to families' monthly costs as price caps rose and cheap tariffs ended. The crisis has left families in Leeds making hard choice, with some having to choose between staying warm, or go going hungry.
