The rising cost of supermarket goods has left many people in reeling, especially in the face of the current cost of living crisis . And one woman has shed light on just how much these prices have skyrocketed over the years after unearthing a photograph of a Tesco receipt from 27 years ago. ‌

The receipt revealed that the shopper had bought a total of 22 food and drink items for a mere £27.96.
