  • Supermarket Food Prices Increase Due To Cost of LivingNORTHWICH, ENGLAND - JULY 06: In this photo illustration a small selection of essential items sits in a shopping trolley on July 06, 2022 in Northwich, England. The British Retail Consortium recently said food manufacturers and supermarkets are having to pass on some of the cost of soaring raw materials to consumers, leading to the price of basic goods throughout the UK rising at the fastest pace since September 2008. Fresh food prices increased by 6% in the year to June 2022 coupled with an increase in inflation, and fuel and energy prices to create a cost of living crisis. This is leading to millions of low-income households going without essentials items, falling behind on bills and taking on debt. (Photo illustration by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
