MAJOR shops including Asda and Morrisons are offering help to customers battling against rising prices – we explain what’s on offer.
A crippling cost of living crisis is clobbering the nation’s finances as bills from energy to food and fuel spiral.

Energy bills are expected to hit just shy of £3,000 by the end of this year, while food bills are soaring due to rocketing inflation.
Drivers are being hit at the pump as well, with the average price of fuel at 188p per litre.
But a new campaign has been launched this week by the government, who is working with UK businesses to offer deals to ease the squeeze.
The Help for Households campaign features bespoke deals and discounts for households from some of the UK’s biggest business, including Asda, Morrisons, Amazon and Vodafone.
We explain all the shops offering deals – and how to get them.

This is where children aged 16 and under can access a hot or cold meal for £1 at any time of day in Asda Cafes across the UK.
