Sainsbury’s shopper shares tips to slash food bills as prices hit record high | Personal Finance | Finance
Addressing her “difficult” challenge of finding affordable food, Naomi said: “When it comes to meat, I’ve started going to the local butchers because I find it cheaper than the supermarket. Not significantly, but maybe around 25 percent cheaper.
“I’ve been doing the same thing for fruit and veg. If I go to the local stalls on the high streets, they tend to be cheaper as well.
“Before, I used to do all of my shopping through Tesco home delivery, but now I’ve had to start getting bits here and there instead of getting them from one place.”
According to Kantar’s research, the prices of eggs, milk and cheese are rising at the fastest pace, taking the average annual household bill for groceries up to £5,617. On top of this, the cost of sugar, chocolate, sweets, and fizzy drinks have also increased with food prices now a staggering 15 percent more expensive than this time last year.
