Mum repeats big Tesco shop from 2020 and is astonished at how prices have risen

As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, one mum has chosen to take an inventory of all the products that have shot up in price at Tesco.

Emma Gill, the Parents Editor at the Manchester Evening News, has done an extensive analysis of the price hikes - by repeating the exact same grocery shop from January 2020, just before the pandemic began to really take hold.

"Shockingly almost half of the 43 products have gone up by 50% or more, with the biggest hike being Tesco's angel cake, up from 62p to £1.60 - a 158% increase," Emma wrote for the M.E.N.
