Prices for basics are creeping up
Rising food prices is a growing concern across Britain, causing many to cut down on the weekly spend.

Neil Crombie, team manager at The Co-operative Food on Crwys Road said, “Prices of bread and milk are slowly creeping up, but customers aren’t complaining. Our milk is slightly more expensive than other supermarkets, but customers are happier to come here, because they know we give dairy farmers a better price.”
