Desperate families already hit by soaring energy bills could see the price of groceries rise by £1,000 a year, a retail expert warns.
Clive Black said a disastrous combination of inflation, the war in Ukraine and the aftermath of Covid-19 is starting to have a serious impact on Britons’ wallets.
Mr Black said food prices have risen by up to 12%, putting the average family’s food shop of £150-£200 up by around £20 a week.
