I'm not sure about a specific website, but this makes interesting reading from today's Daily Mail

Isnt it interesting that booze has gone down,despite the budget supposedly raising the price of it!

Quite scarey to see how much some of the food has risen by though, I thought it was jsut me not being able to hit my budget in the GC cos I was to greedy LOL

food prices have gone up. I think we have got so used to cheap food though.

Percentage wise we are spending less of our salary on food nowadays then 25 years ago.

I am lucky as though I have a budget If I go over it won;t hit me too hard.

it's very hard though for those of you with a very limited budget.
