The cost of living crisis is biting hard and if there's one place you'll notice it, it's at the supermarket. Despite retailers battling it out for our custom, many say they've had no choice but to put prices up.
To see just how much shoppers are being impacted, I repeated my Tesco big shop from last year, with mainly groceries and a few toiletries. Of the 61 items I bought on December 1, more than half (33) had increased in price.
Twenty two prices had stayed the same, while six had reduced - five because of Clubcard offers. Among the price hikes were dairy products including milk, cheese, sour cream dip and ice cream lollies, as well as chicken, pasta sauces, bread, cakes and fruit.
