english headlines are a nightmare for non-natives, especially id there are names like Where? in it.

Yeah this is usually where we’d have italics come in to help. Doesn’t work when it’s plaintext but oh well.

'Which? ' is a consumer advice company. They have a website and magazine and test products, advising consuners on which products are better. They advocate for consuner friendly laws and corporate policies.

You have to pay them to get their advice, though it is quality advice in one location

37% purchasing more supermarket-branded

How many were buying supermarket branded stuff already? Always shopped at Aldi since it was an option. I just buy that instead of branded things because I don't want to pay more for a different label. An oat is an oat, I don't care who was driving the combine harvester.

We usually spend up to £15 each a week, so I haven't really thought much about trying to cut back. Nothing I buy seems to have been impacted by price increases yet. Cheese is the most expensive thing I buy and technically easy to cut out, but I like cheese.
