Cash-strapped shoppers may find themselves paying more for a pint of milk at the supermarket than they do when filling up their car with petrol.
The latest figures have found that the cost of milk has become the latest item to soar in price amidst the current cost of living crisis and comes as petrol prices have begun to fall in recent months. Prices of milk have said to have soared by two-thirds in the past year, pushing up the average price per pint to 86p - the equivalent of £1.50 a litre, reports WalesOnline.
Some of the smaller branches of of the bigger retailers are selling single pints for as much as £1.05, a fraction under £1.85 a litre. It comes after the cost of petrol soared to record-highs of around 191p a litre earlier this year, but have recently fell to as little as just 140p per litre in recent months.
