How will the cost of living crisis evolve in 2023?

How will the cost of living crisis evolve in 2023? A new report predicts it will get worse before it gets better.

What will 2023 mean for the cost of living crisis? We hear how a new report by the Resolution Foundation predicts that we are about half way through and it will get worse before it gets better. Emily Fry, co-author of the report, explains more and Winifred Robinson also hears from a mother from Bedfordshire about how she's coping right now. 

Drip pricing, countdown timers and scarcity claims - we hear about the online sales tactics designed to push people into spending cash they may later regret.  Dave Mendes De Costa from Citizens Advice tells Winifred Robinson what they've learnt from their research into such practices and we hear one individuals experience of being caught out by them. 

Petrol prices are dropping, after being at record highs during 2022. Simon Williams from the RAC explains why and whether its set to continue. And we hear the latest analysis on what's going on in the energy market - wholesale prices are dropping but what does that mean for household bills? Joe Malinowski from the Energy Shop is live with Winifred Robinson.
