A Tesco shopper was left stunned to find out that the price of her big shop has surged by 35 per cent from 2020. Emma Gill revealed that almost half the items in her basket have gone up by 50 per cent in two years.
The Manchester Evening News journalist headed to her local shop to see the impact that the cost of living crisis is having on groceries. She took a trip to Tesco, after the supermarket chain became the most expensive out of the publication's weekly price check on basic products.
Emma says she was stunned during her visit to the store to see how much products have risen in price from just three years ago. She said: "Shockingly almost half of the 43 products have gone up by 50 per cent or more, with the biggest hike being Tesco's angel cake, up from 62p to £1.60 - a 158 per cent increase.
