Food writer and mum Jack Monroe has slammed the 'infuriating' reality of living costs as some day-to-day groceries have seen huge cost increases over the past 12 months.
Jack, known for writing books about cooking on a modest budget, says they were left infuriated after hearing a discussion on the radio saying cost of living had increased by five per cent.
They said the use of inflation to look at how the cost of living impacts the average family "grossly underestimates" the reality.
