Cost of weekly shopping soaringThe average family is spending £15 a week more on food than they were a year ago, new figures have revealed.
A basket of 24 common supermarket items such as tea bags and pasta sauce costs 15% more than it did 12 months ago, according to a survey.
The figures show inflation is costing a family spending around £100 a week on groceries an extra £780 over a year.
The supermarket price survey found six pints of semi-skimmed milk are now 28p more expensive - a rise from £1.68 to £1.96 - than a year ago at Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's.
And the cost of a thick white loaf has gone up by more than 20%, from 54p to 65p, at both Tesco and Asda.
Customers are paying nearly 50% more for a dozen medium free-range eggs at the top three supermarkets, according to MySupermarket.co.uk - from £1.75 to £2.58 at all three.
