The UK has been in a cost of living crisis since late 2021. Food is one of the areas with the biggest increase. The UK Office For National Statistics reported in the beginning of October that 48% of Britons say they spent more than usual when shopping during the past few weeks. 4 out of 10 adults say they are buying less food because of the surge in prices. To illustrate their hardships, a UK TikTok account Cost Of Living Crisis Tips compared prices at supermarkets from September 2022 to 2023.
