ALMOST half of adults are buying less food as concerns over the cost-of living crisis intensify, new figures suggest.
The latest stats from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), published today, show that nine in 10 households are now feeling the impact of rising costs — up from 62 per cent in early November.
Forty-six per cent said that fears over the soaring cost of living has driven them to put less food in their shopping baskets, while 91 per cent said that they had made changes in order to save on energy bills, such as washing on a lower temperature.
