Supermarket basics soared in price by up to 30% on a yearly basis last month - as worrying research shows how shoppers are feeling the squeeze in stores.
The huge increase was highlighted in the Which? inflation tracker, which reveals how prices have changed at Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
Across the eight retailers, butters and spreads went up an eye-watering 29.4%. Milk prices rose by 26.3% and cheese was up 22.3% during the same period.
