As the recession bites into our wallets one of the first things we've tried to cut back on is our spending on food.
And the downturn is affecting not only how much we fork out on food but also what we are putting into our shopping baskets. In the last year, food prices have gone up by 8% and we're all feeling the pinch.
As we hunt for ways to cut costs, one activity we're cutting back on is eating out. We're abandoning restaurants in favour of staying in and cooking for ourselves from scratch.
For most of us that means buying more food from supermarkets, and this extra spending has sparked a turf war amongst the big grocers.
