Feeling a bit strapped for cash? It's no wonder when the cost of food is at its highest in 12 years.

Keeping your shopping bill down is getting harder and harder. A survey by mysupermarket.co.uk says that in just the last month, from June to July, a loaf of bread has gone up from 54p to 65p, 6 pints of semi-skimmed milk up from £1.68 to £2.12 and 1kg basmati rice, up 84 p from 90p to £1.74. All these prices rises are adding up to mean you are £1,092 poorer a year.
