Britons have been complaining that the cost of the food shop is just as worrying as energy bills and now data from Nationwide’s Spending Report shows supermarkets were the top category for purchases during the last year, with its members spending around £1billion.

To help customers manage their finances during the cost of living crisis, the building society has launched its cashback offer along with a freephone cost-of-living hotline (0800 030 40 66) and mortgage support.

Tom Riley, director of retail products at Nationwide Building Society, said: “Food costs have risen sharply and many households now think carefully about how and where they shop. 

“We’re helping members with £10 a month cashback on supermarket spending – just one of the benefits of having a current account with the world’s biggest building society.”
