Some days were not good

We all know the cost of living is rising, for a lot of people it's a struggle and difficult to come to terms with. Many people have turned to food banks and trying to save money by cutting out certain items or luxuries that they otherwise cannot afford.I don't drive, I don't ever eat enough to require a delivery really and generally I just grab ingredients as and when I need them. So for me, this sounded simple, however, it wasn't that straightforward.

I managed to find some bread that was reduced from 2.50 to 80p it was decent sourdough and I love bread. Along with this, I had found some reduced tomatoes and hummus. The issue I found with this test was that there were very few options - besides cheesecake, Tesco always had reduced cheesecake but I value my life so that was not going to be a meal.

I got an aubergine, some potatoes that were a little on the way to being less than desirable let's say, I got some chilis from Co-Op and I got a cucumber and some thyme.

Cost of living: People cut back on food shopping as price rises biteRetail sales fell 0.5% in May as households cut spending in supermarkets due to the rising cost of living. Most supermarkets charge way too much. They make insanely high profits and could easily cut their profit and still make plenty of money. Same with energy companies. Same with government fuel duty etc.
