Wtf are you buying to eat if only 20% of your income goes on mortgage and 50% on food/energy?
Pre-pandemic we would spend £100 a week on food shopping for a family of two adults and two children. We now spend about £200-£250 for the same amount of food (probably less). We don’t buy expensive brands or any alcohol at all. At the same time our monthly energy bill was about £90 a month and is now £190 a month. Our salaries have increased by about 3%. For us, just a regular family in the UK, life has significantly worsened and looks like it will get even worse. Sorry if that shocks you.
Yeah, that is a huge amount of food. Do you eat meat every day or something?
“huge amount”! Ha. (I’m actually vegan - though the rest of the family eat fish and the occasional Frankenchicken!). Food and groceries are just expensive!
