A pensioner has spoken of the drastic measures she is taking to get through the cost of living crisis - spending entire days on the bus and feeding herself with food about to go out of date. Linda Foster, 73, said she made a good living for her and her children before she retired.
Now she is considering selling her car to pay the bills - and says she can't afford petrol anyway. She also goes to bed early and watches TV just to cut her spending.
Linda found herself unable to heat her home in the winter, and unable to buy the food she wants in the summer. She told LincolnshireLive: "All the food has gone up tremendously and when you live on a pension you've got to take that into consideration.
