Sky News Interviewed Me Live About Food Prices - What I Think 3 Years Later

Three years ago, Sky News came to film our family and talk about food prices and the cost of living here in the UK. Tonight I’m watching that interview back with you and sharing what I really think about it now.

So much has changed – and so much hasn’t.
In this video I:
• React to my original Sky News interview about food prices
• Share how it felt to have our family budget on national TV
• Talk about the difference between food banks and food rescue
• Explain how places like Fur Clemt rescue food from landfill (not a food bank)
• Compare food inflation then vs now (currently nearly 5%)
• Share how 16% of UK households – over 14 million people – are now struggling with food insecurity
• Talk honestly about how we’re coping as a family in 2026
• Share the frugal habits that are still helping us keep going
If you’re relying on yellow stickers, surplus food hubs, and every trick you know just to get through the week – you are not alone here. 💚

Let me know in the comments:
Are you better off, worse off, or about the same as three years ago?
