I compared the cost of shopping at Home Bargains and B&M today to a year ago

With the UK in a cost of living crisis, the price of many popular products has risen considerably.

Research by the Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD) found that food inflation is likely to reach 15% this summer, with monthly food bills set to rise by another £43 per month for an average family of four - meaning food inflation is estimated to reach its highest level in more than 20 years.

Budget stores such as Home Bargains and B&M are popular for their low cost items, so I decided to compare the price of 10 of the much-loved branded products on the shelves today to the price you'd pay for them last year. Not only was I interested in finding out if the items had changed in price, but I was also keen to see which store came out as cheapest overall.
