The cost of food has increased greatly in the last year. It has been harder to budget. I tend to cut meals and I’ve had no choice but to cut down on things such as fruit, soft drinks, fruit juice and snacks. I can only afford to buy essential foods for us. I'm sure this is having an impact on both me and the children, we are certainly unwell often and run down. I think the increased food prices are caused by a number of factors, not just the one can be pinpointed. Overall I expect the costs of food will stay high. We can attribute this to; the war in the Ukraine, Brexit and climate change. I do know that food and fuel costs are a global problem and not simply just affecting the UK.
