Millions of British households are skipping meals in the current cost-of-living crisis, the consumer group ‘Which?’ warned on Thursday.

The consumer group found that people across the country are making huge changes to how they shop and eat as they feel the impact of soaring inflation.

According to a survey of 3,000 people, ‘Which?’ discovered that half of UK households are reducing the number of meals as they struggle with the cost of living crisis

“Among those who said they are struggling most financially, half (50%) said that their household was skipping meals. And nearly half (46%) of consumers said they are finding it harder to eat healthily compared to before the crisis,” said ‘Which?’.
