The surging cost of living is pushing more and more households towards breaking point. Energy bills, food shops, a tank of petrol and the cost of other everyday essentials are all rising in price, and it's leaving many families facing some tough decisions.
According to the Resolution Foundation, UK households can expect outgoings to increase by an eye-watering £1,200 this year.
When it comes to the weekly shop, the cost of groceries is 5.2 per cent higher than it was a year ago, according to Kantar data. While more shoppers are switching to buying cheaper products and supermarket own-brand labels - others are struggling to afford even the bargain products.
