1:13Now PlayingFamilies in the UK are spending more money to feed their children, with prices surging for everyday items in the average lunchbox amid rising inflation.
A grocery price index tracked by the website Trolley.co.uk showed a jump in the cost of many lunchtime items from last year including ham, apples and butter.
In August, supplies to make a week’s worth of ham sandwiches lunches, accompanied by an apple, pack of crisps and a fruit-shoot drink now add £11.88 ($14.06) to a shopping trip. That’s up 14% from £10.40 in 2021.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan drew attention to the issue on Friday, noting 270,000 primary school children would benefit from making free meals universal. Such a move would save families £440 a year.
