The cost of living crisis continues to rage on, with energy price hikes officially coming into effect this month and further pressure being put on people's wallets thanks to the rising cost of food and petrol.
And for one anonymous mum online, the worry over her spending has become "too much", as she broke down in tears while doing her shopping in Asda.
The mum took to Mumsnet to share her frustration as she 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.
