The price of food in supermarkets has reached an eye watering 13-year high, new research suggests. Families are battling soaring bill rises as the cost of living crisis hits hard.
And one area where people are noticing troubling increases is on their supermarket receipts. Market researcher Kantar has said grocery inflation now stands at 7% in the four weeks to May 15, rising 5.9% from the month previous.
The Mirror reports that products where prices have risen the fastest include dog food, savoury snacks and fresh beef. Meanwhile, the price of spirits had fallen.
