Many of us feel we pay more every time we go to the supermarket. Penny pinching and price-watching are the order of the day for shoppers trying to eke out their weekly budget.
The Manchester Evening News is keeping watch on a range of basic items on sale at six main supermarkets. And this week it has spotted a new record with the bill for foods like bread, milk and meat now going into double figures at every store.
This is the first time they have all gone over the £10 mark since the newspaper began monitoring the situation in March. When they first started watching the six stores, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, not one of them had reached that double figure.
