A mum was left reeling when she splashed out on a sweet treat for her daughter during a Christmas market trip. Manchester Evening News Parents Editor Emma Gill visited the festive market in the city over the weekend.
She added: "I monitored what she was adding to the bag, knowing how quickly the cost can escalate. However, I was taken aback when her selection totalled a staggering £14.34. The Berlin currywurst at the Witch House stall has risen from £8 last year - a jump of £1.50. Meanwhile a jumbo piggy wrap at Porky Pig on Exchange Square is also up, increasing by £1 to £9.50.
