There's no escaping the cost of living crisis, with everything from petrol to
the weekly shop rocketing in price. And while we know we're all tightening the
purse strings, our last survey sought to find out what we're sacrificing and how
the current situation is affecting us.




In terms of making changes to keep costs down, the weekly takeaway is a thing of
the past. Just 11% of respondents said they still had the treat each week while
53% said they indulged "hardly ever".




Nearly half of people (47%) were not going on holiday this year and only 22%
said they were going abroad.




The rising cost of fuel has seen a massive shift in driving trends too with 60%
of people saying they were driving less since the increase.




And it's no wonder we're all making these changes when 97% of you told us that
your weekly shop had increased and 66% said it had gone up by a lot.


While more than half (53%) said they were always savvy when it came to food
shopping, 37% of people said that it was more important now to grab an offer or
yellow sticker item.




But it's not all about bargain hunting. We had hundreds of readers telling us
their money-saving tips and tricks from batch cooking to ensuring all the
electrics are switched off when not in use.




One reader suggested downloading food-saving apps Too Good to Go and Olio, while
another suggested saving app Plum as a good way of putting money aside for
Christmas.




Many suggested cooking from scratch and avoiding any unneeded expenses including
ready meals with some saying they have saved money from ditching the oven and
only using their air fryer or microwave.




Sadly, your responses also highlighted just how many of us are skipping meals
and basic selfcare as a necessary money-saving tactic with many saying that a
bath has now become a luxury while others said they have chosen to not feed
themselves in order to feed their children.




A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our cost of living survey. We will
be in touch soon with another survey so you can continue to Have Your Say.
