A struggling mum has written about how she broke down in tears while doing her shopping in Asda.
The woman said that the cost of living crisis left her unsure whether she could spend 55p on a "treat for her kids." She took to Mumsnet after the incident to share her frustration that the current cost of living crisis has become "too much."
The mum explained she had seen some reduced goods in the bakery section and had considered buying something as a "treat for her kids" - but was unsure whether she had a spare 55p left in her food budget to cover the cost. She said three years ago her family had been "comfortable" financially, but they are relying on free school meals and half-term vouchers, The Mirror reported.
