Teacher forced to move family into parents' garage after petrol and food costs double

A teacher and her family have been forced to move back into their parents' home as the cost of living crisis bites.

Substitute teacher Katie Ziemer moved her family out of their home when her husband was injured at work and their monthly expenses went up 40% reaching £1,450 ($1,750) per month.

Her bills and food costs nearly doubled and the family's monthly grocery bill went from £400 ($480) - to approximately £825 ($1,000) - with petrol costs also doubling in the last year.
