We have an update on supermarket prices with our You and Yours Shopping Basket. We re-launched it in January - we used to have one in the 70's, and we're tracking 10 basic food items each month. They're all own brands from the five main supermarkets, the cheapest options for pasta, rice, potatoes, bread, butter, baked beans, beef mince, tinned tuna, apples and squash. Three out of the five baskets have decreased, one has increased and one has stayed the same. Traditionally it can be difficult and expensive to find rented accommodation that allows pets. But there's been a 120% increase in demand for animal friendly properties due to the post lockdown increase in pet ownership. And some landlords and developers are taking notice - we hear from James Hardern from Ascend's Build to Rent team who are developing pet friendly flats across the UK. Has the love for house plants continued now we're going out more? The Royal Horticultural Society says they've seen sales of houseplants go up 28 per cent compared to this time last year - but do people have as much time to look after them? Let us know if you're still tending to your house plants. Let us know - email us at [email protected] Presenter: Nicola Beckford Producer: Miriam Williamson
