Inflation, soaring energy costs and the increased price of food over the past few years have been attributed to the pressure placed on low-income households
A single mum has told Belfast Live she struggles to put nutritious food on the table for her young child as costs continue to rise.
"As prices have gone up, I have been relying more on frozen food and I am having to budget by writing everything down, planning my meals and resorting to social media to find cost saving tips." The report which was commissioned by Safefood has revealed some families spend up to £169, almost half of their take-home income, on food, with families with teenage children paying an extra £40 per week on food than those with younger children.
A food basket for a single pensioner living on their own has increased by 4.9% in the same period and costs them £64 per week, which is 29% of their income.
