Shoppers are struggling with astronomical food price rises at the moment. Here\u2019s some ways to beat the costs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inflation is one of the biggest issues in the UK at the moment, and has driven a cost-of-living crisis that has rumbled on now for over a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, inflation has reduced slightly with the annual consumer price index (CPI) measure at 8.7% according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This means overall prices are 8.7% higher now than they were 12 months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But food inflation is much higher, at 19.1%. Although this has reduced slightly month-on-month from 19.2%, it still means we\u2019re paying much higher prices for our food than a year ago. It is the fastest rate of price rises in 45 years, when in 1977 food inflation was 21.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ONS says the situation is serious enough that two in five (44%) of adults are spending less on groceries to save money, while half (50%) say they\u2019re buying less in their regular shops to cut back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two thirds of Brits report their general cost-of-living increasing in the past month alone, while 97% have experienced food price increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which food is worst affected?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ONS has itemised data on price rises among a huge range of foods, goods and services. You can use their shopping prices comparison tool<\/a> to dig deeper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking specifically at groceries, cucumbers top the list of biggest price increases, going up a staggering 54% in 12 months \u2013 costing 83p on average compared to 54p a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also fast rising is sugar, going from 73p to \u00a31.08 \u2013 a 47% rise, and olive oil, up from \u00a34.07 to \u00a35.95 over 12 months, a 46% rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the opposite end, lemons are the only product not to experience price rises, remaining around 32p each on average. Meanwhile, a bottle of gin went up just 3% – from \u00a315.51 to \u00a315.95, while honey also rose 3% – \u00a32.19 to \u00a32.24 on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ways to save on the food shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is very tricky to give one-size-fits-all tips for how a household can save money on groceries, as everyone\u2019s needs will be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some small changes we can consider to save on our groceries though. Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut the waste<\/strong> \u2013 one of the biggest contributors to overspending is how much we buy and then subsequently don\u2019t use. According to a study<\/a> from The EcoExperts, the UK wastes around 9.5 million tonnes of food every year. This is equivalent to \u00a319 billion of food or around \u00a3284 per household per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to cut waste food is to try and plan more carefully your weekly meals and only buy what you need instead of always \u201cstocking up\u201d. It\u2019s also crucial to store food properly, including freezing (but not forgetting) stuff you won\u2019t use straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batch cook<\/strong> \u2013 batch cooking is often cited as a way to cut costs, particularly by food influencers such as Jack Monroe<\/a> or Suzanne Mulholland, the so-called \u201cbatch lady<\/a>\u201d. While reliable statistics on saving money via batch cooking are hard to come by, cooking in large quantities and storing it properly will be an effective way to cut waste \u2013 especially when buying bulky items such as potatoes or pasta that would otherwise sit unused in a cupboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try meal kits<\/strong> – An alternative to grocery shopping if you feel you don\u2019t shop efficiently, or maybe fall to temptations, is meal kit services. Companies such as HelloFresh and Gousto offer concise recipes and meal kits which give you precise amounts of ingredients so you never waste, potentially saving you money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also removes the need to be constantly vigilant of every product price. Just make sure you\u2019re not leaving meals unused, and look around for voucher codes to save at the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping around <\/strong>\u2013 the kind of tip your granny might swear by \u2013 make sure you\u2019re visiting as big a range of supermarkets as possible, if you have the time for it. Supermarkets are relentlessly competitive on pricing so some items very competitively priced, while overpricing on others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative retailers such as Poundland, B&M, and even Amazon can also be great for some staples at cheaper prices, just be wary that sometimes things will be overpriced relatively too. The variation is enormous unfortunately and requires a keen eye and possibly some notetaking, but your wallet might just thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilising retailer discounts through your employer<\/strong> \u2013 Some employers offer benefits to staff which include giving them access to discounts and cashback. You\u2019ll usually be directed to a provider\u2019s website that offers these deals, but what might be particularly helpful (and is becoming more common on these websites) are discounted gift cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The provider allows you to buy gift cards for shops including the likes of Sainsburys, Morisons and M&S for example, and when purchasing the gift card you could save anywhere from 2-15% of your gift card\u2019s total value. So, you could buy and use the gift card for your usual food shop and get a discount on the money you were going to be spending anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth checking if your employer offers access to these kinds of benefits and then deciding how best to use gift cards, discounts or cashback to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use loyalty wisely – <\/strong>Supermarket loyalty schemes have had something of a renaissance in the past year with the now famous \u201cWhen it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone\u201d from Lidl, Tesco Clubcard discounts, and now Sainsbury\u2019s Nectar discounts too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like \u2018shopping around\u2019 above, it pays to be vigilant with these deals and ensure you\u2019re actually getting the best price. But it also pays to be signed up to the schemes so when you do spot a good deal you\u2019re able to take advantage straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
