In recent months, food costs for consumers have risen significantly due to inflation, which remains high at 7.1 percent – despite a recent decline.
With the rising cost of living, many people in the US are trying to reduce their expenses.
According to consumer data company Dunnhumby, a third of households are skipping meals or reducing portion sizes to save money.
Researchers found that 18 percent of the 2,000 study participants noted that they were not getting enough to eat.
Additionally, 31 percent of households have reduced their portion sizes due to empty pantries due to rising supermarket prices.
In addition to food costs, millions of people across the country lack a financial safety net.

According to researchers, 64 percent of participants admitted that they would not be able to raise $400 in an emergency.
Many have suffered from inflation, which has sent prices of basic goods skyrocketing – including meat and poultry prices rising 10.4 percent, grains 15.1 percent and fruit and vegetables 8.1 per cent.
Another point of pressure for many people across the country is gasoline prices, which have risen nearly 60 percent in the past year, while the cost of airline tickets has risen by more than 34 percent and the price of used cars by more than seven percent.
Clothing costs increased 5.2 percent, total shelter costs increased 5.5 percent and delivery services increased 14.4 percent.
Many people have even started living in their cars or vans due to inflation. New research shows that a six-figure salary can no longer support people the way it used to.
