Family with £62k income using Klarna for food shop due to cost of living crisis
A mum-of-five with a £62k household income has resorted to using Klarna to afford her food shop - due to the cost-of-living crisis. Laura Caine, 40, struggles to cover her family's monthly outgoings using her £1k-a-month universal credit payment and her husband Martin's £50k games programmer salary. The couple have five children - aged 18 to nine - and say feeding the brood three meals a day gets expensive so they have had to use the buy-now-pay-later service. In recent months Laura says she had to use Klarna to afford groceries as she "can't afford" to pay for a big shop upfront. Laura claims both she and Martin have both maxed out their credit cards after their energy bill shot up to £450-a-month from £200.
