Food inflation has hit its highest rate on record and shoppers are now paying 10.6 per cent more than they were a year ago, according to the latest figures. Fresh food products have seen the biggest increases according to the consumer price index.
Shoppers at Bristol Tesco Extra at Eastgate say they are getting less for their money and as a result are cutting down on items. Meanwhile budget supermarkets like Aldi have also seen price rises with shoppers reporting that they’re now spending up to 30 per cent more on their weekly groceries.
Vas Anwar and his partner who live in Easton are now putting less items in their shopping trolley as price rises hit their weekly budget. The dad of two, 51, who is employed as a shop manager, said he is having to buy less nappies because the price of everything has gone up.
