56% of Britons are buying fewer groceries amid cost of living crisis

Over half (56%) of Britons are buying fewer groceries, with the same proportion skipping meals, a BBC commissioned survey revealed.

The survey which had 4,011 respondents also showed that people had been cutting on spending clothes and socialising with some claiming their mental health had been affected.

Specifically, 66% of those who have been negatively affected by the cost of living crisis said it was affecting their mental health and 45% said it was affecting their physical health. Two-thirds also expressed that government support provided so far was insufficient.
