People up and down the country are facing the brunt of the cost of living crisis.
With the price of what feels like everything going up, it can be tough to keep our food bills down. But one supermarket has created a whole new and cheaper range of products.
The new Asda 'Just Essentials' budget range has replaced its Smart Price value products offering a range of different foods including meat, bread, eggs, fruit and vegetables. To help shoppers combat rising costs, the range is all about lowering the costs of supermarket staples to make our weekly shop less of a shocker.

One woman lived off the range for a day to see how staples such as cereal, bread and chocolate measure up compared to branded versions. Keimae Blake reported her findings in Nottinghamshire Live.
Keimae said: "My food shop for living off the Just Essentials range for a day came to a total of £8.01. I was only feeding myself - I understand families will have to pay more but if you haven’t tried this range before, I think it’s worth it."
Some items went down better than others, with a few even tasting "exactly like" more expensive versions.
Keimae said she bought Wheat Bisks, with a pack of 24 costing 77p. She said: "They tasted exactly the same as Weetabix. I shall definitely be buying them again".
She was also impressed with a pack of six white rolls for 49p, and an 825g of Red Leicester cheese for £3.75. Keimae also found she found the chocolate chip cookies (39p) to be a "cheaper Maryland style" biscuit.
With many more products to be found in the new Asda range such as fruit, vegetables and cereals, and the bright-yellow products are very easy to find.
