    From ONS.

    The relative affordability of food can be measured by the share of the household budget that goes on food. Low income households are of particular concern as they tend to have a greater percentage of spend going on food.

    Food is exerting greater pressure on household budgets since 2007 when food prices started to rise in real terms.

    Averaged over all households 10.5% of spend went on food in 2016, the same as the 2007 level.

    For households in the lowest 20% by equivalised income 14% of spend went on household food, 5.6 percentage points below 2007.

    Good news. Especially for the lowest 20% with the new IPhone being released.
