Edinburgh shoppers have spoken about the "scary" rise in staple foods in supermarkets as the general cost of living continues to squeeze families tighter and tighter.
With energy prices hitting a new all-time high, food and mortgage rates have also sky-rocketed making it incredibly difficult for parents to provide for their families whilst paying for a roof over their head, heating and the car to insure and put on the road.
Shoppers outside the Morrisons in Piershill in Edinburgh spoke to the Record about how they are struggling to make ends meet at the moment. Despite shopping for the best deals and limiting unnecessary items, they said there is "no way" to avoid the cost of living crisis.
