Married couple Jim and Pamela Smith, 70 and 76, who live in Seacroft have been travelling around the city, desperate to find fresh produce at a reasonable price. So far, they’ve had to limit the amount of fresh food they get, which hasn’t helped Jim’s health, while the cost of living crisis unceasingly rages on.
