A pub landlord lived off £1 a day for food for a week in a bid to raise awareness on how rising costs show people are "not living - but surviving". Craig Harker, 35, decided to take on the challenge that thousands are currently facing with the cost of living crisis and bought all his food shopping for less than the cost of a Big Mac Meal.
The landlord from Stockton-on-Tees is used to spending £200 a week on food - but this week has been feeding himself for £1 a day. The father-of-three admits his experiment "has not been a case of living - but surviving" and he "feels so bad for families that have to budget like I have this week".
However, with the ongoing surge in costs from food to fuel, Craig's experiment is the reality of thousands of people in the UK. Craig was inspired to start this challenge following Tory MP Lee Anderson's controversial comments a few weeks ago that people can make meals costing 30p.
