00:00It's noticeable, the prices in the shops and the prices eating out.
00:08And I love eating out. All my girly friends love eating out.
00:12So we're eating out maybe twice, sometimes three times a week.
00:16And we do notice it. We do notice it now, yeah.
00:20Just being a bit more careful, that's all.
00:22People having to cut back on little treats.
00:25What were little treats?
00:26And say, going out, having a meal once, twice a month, whatever.
00:31That is correspondingly dearer than what it was,
00:36with overheads and just the price of food and raw materials.
00:40I think it depends where you go.
00:42If you go regularly to some of the lovely restaurants and cafes,
00:50they are still offering good service and welcoming people.
00:53You just have to make careful choices.
00:54So when people can't have those little treats and those little luxuries
00:59and perhaps can't go on the holiday that they always did,
01:02even if it's a staycation, it all accumulates just to make life harder.
01:07We're very lucky in Liverpool where we have so many food pantries and food banks.
01:13So for our more vulnerable people in our city, they do have access to that.
01:19But I don't know how they would manage if they didn't have those food banks going into supermarkets
01:25every week, you know, trying to feed the family.
01:29We'll be right back to you next week.
01:29And we'll be right back.
