One person said they were trying to reduce their bills by skipping hot meals
Scots are being forced to skip meals and turn their heating off as families bear the brunt of the cost of living crisis.
While a 55-year-old woman was being forced to skip meals and sit in the cold. She said: “We are having to skip meals, not have the heating on and not going out due to fuel costs."The new research found that one in ten consumers are skipping meals due to rising food costs - with parents hit particularly hard.
Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said: “It’s hugely concerning that people in Scotland are losing sleep, skipping meals and sitting in the cold due to rising prices. If Scots tried to maintain the same spending habits as the previous year, they need to spend an additional £40 per week - or around £2,080 a year - on food, energy and fuel.
Only 37 per cent of working-age parents surveyed in Scotland say that they are living comfortably or doing alright - compared to 50 per cent of Scottish consumers overall.
