A woman who has cut her meals back to mostly once a day to ensure her grandkids are properly fed has described the cost-of-living crisis as “horrible”.
Shona Douglas told STV News that “life is very hard at the moment”, with the situation the “worst” she has seen it in her 57 years.
During a visit to a food bank in Portobello, Edinburgh, she said: “I’ve not had breakfast and I’ll not bother with lunch.
“Because I’ve come to the food bank today, I’ll get a meal [from] what I’m provided with today.
“That’s normally my day.”
