Explained in plain English

Why will my shopping cost more?

Diesel is crucial for transporting goods across the UK, from food to online deliveries. When diesel prices rise, these transport costs increase for businesses. These extra costs are often passed on to consumers through higher prices for everyday items, meaning your weekly shop could become more expensive.
