Scots to spend extra £1,100 on energy and food a year as one in eight 'skip meals'

People in Scotland could be spending over £1000 extra a year on energy and food due to the UK's ongoing cost of living crisis.

Consumer champion Which? carried out extensive research with more than 1,000 people in Scotland to uncover and understand the key issues being faced by them - and the rising cost of living across Scotland came out on top.

Which? estimates that consumers in Scotland will spend an additional £21.13 per week on food and energy in April 2022 compared to March 2020 - amounting to around £1,100 extra per year, with Which? warning that "further predicted price increases across a range of goods and services are only likely to increase the financial pressure on many households".
