As bills soar many will find themselves cutting back on the weekly shop where possible.
Joint research by Abrdn Financial Fairness Trust and the University of Bristol recently found that 71 percent of roughly 6,000 people surveyed said they have reduced the quality of food they eat due to the cost of living. Abrdn Financial Fairness Trust boss Mubin Haq said that something has to be done to ensure that living standards do not sink any further.
Some supermarkets have since offered budget menus, with Marks & Spencer offering cheap meals that claim to feed a family for a week. The menu was designed by TV chef Tom Kerridge, and costs just £25 for the week of food, reports the Mirror.
