Sue Davies, Which? Head of Food Policy and Consumer Rights, said: "With millions of households already battling to make budgets stretch in the face of the cost of living crisis, these latest food price figures make for stark reading. "Even before more recent price rises, Which? research found that the price of hundreds of everyday groceries had soared by more than 20 per cent over the last two years and that own-brand budget groceries have become less available. "This further highlights why supermarkets need to be more upfront about costs and provide clear unit pricing to help shoppers to easily compare items. Budget ranges also need to be more widely available across stores, so consumers do not have to pay excessive prices for everyday essentials." ENDS
