Food shopping is getting more and more expensive at the moment, amongst everything else including gas and electricity, petrol, and even clothing. According to the Office for National Statistics, food and drink prices are increasing at the fastest pace since April 1980 - and it's impacting everybody in one way or another.
Most of us are tightening the purse strings a lot, especially during the festive period, as we try to make ends meet. Sadly, others are forced to choose between heating and eating as the cost of living crisis starts to bite.
