Food costs are rising faster than ever, leaving households struggling to make ends meet. Just this week it was revealed that UK food price inflation soared to a record annual rate of 11.6% in October, with staples such as teabags, milk and sugar becoming more expensive, along with fresh food.

More than half of the 52 products I bought towards the end of June have risen in price - some by as much as 50%.
