After paying their bills Leeds residents 'struggle' to buy all the food and essentials they need for the month
Over the past few months Leeds Live reporter Lucy Marshall has been speaking to people about how they are coping through the rising cost of living crisis. Back in June, we spoke to Leeds residents who said they now "swear" by yellow label products, hunt for bargain deals "all the time", and switched supermarkets to cut back on expensive products.

Diane, 62, who lives in Leeds with her son was shopping for bargain deals in Leeds city centre on Friday afternoon.
"I am stretching my food out. It is very difficult, it is a struggle since the rising cost of living." Carol and Denise are both retired and live in Leeds. Carol said: “You’ve just got to cut back haven’t you. Like before we’d put the heating on for hours but now it might just be an hour on a night." "So even though my fuel bills have gone up and we are getting help from the government, I am generally OK. So I've got a nice bit of interest on the money I've got. I've got sons and daughters who are going through it too."
