And what about money in your pocket at the end of the week on paying less for shopping?
ANOTHER REASON TO LEAVE: Weekly shop will FALL by £40 under Brexit, finds top economist
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Professor Patrick Minford revealed how British families would see the cost of a weekly food shop PLUNGE if Britain were to leave the European Union and move to a model of 'free trade' or no trade tariffs.
The Professor of Economics at Cardiff University and former advisor to the Treasury, said: "We go to free trade, that means that prices come down on all the goods we import from around the world, and prices come down on what we import from the EU too because they've got to compete with the rest of the world when they sell to us."
He added: "That's worth a whopping £40 a week on the average worker's budget."
Professor Minford found through mathematical modelling of a Brexit that the 'protectionist' elements of the EU currently mean we pay up to 20 per cent more for manufacturing and agriculture.
Lower prices would have wider benefits for the economy, making it more competitive with industry growing in areas where Britain does well, explained the founder of the Liverpool Research Unit.
Under the world free trade model, Britain would still be able to protect the industries or parts of the economy, which are at a disadvantage compared to other countries - for example, the steel industry or manufacturing.
Crucially, Britain would be able to do this financially shield areas specifically important to the UK economy.
Professor Minford told Express.co.uk: "One of the things about leaving the EU is we become free to give help to any particular industry we want to stop contracting or stop contracting so much, like steel. The US, for example, just put a big duty on steel an anti-dumping duty of 267 per cent and it's a free trading country."
He added: "That's what the British voters will be able to do after leaving the EU, they'll be able to decide for themselves who is deserving of their help."
Currently, the EU is protecting areas under the demands and influence of powerful unions in Germany and France, according to Professor Minford.

IMF warns of substantial Brexit risk to UK economy
A vote for the UK to leave the European Union could have a "negative and substantial effect" on economic growth, the International Monetary Fund said.
In its regular health check of the UK economy, the IMF said that a Brexit vote would result in a "protracted period of heightened uncertainty".
That would cause volatility on financial markets and economic output to decline.
Brexit could also erode London's status as a global financial centre, it said.
The IMF said it expected growth to fall below 2% for the full year in 2016 before returning to an average of 2.25% over the medium term.
However, the fund said that this "broadly positive" forecast was subject to notable risks, the biggest of which was the EU referendum, but also the low level of household savings, high levels of household debt, a wide current account deficit and concerns that productivity growth will not rise significantly.
Concerns about a possible Brexit may have affected UK markets in recent months, according to the IMF.
It pointed to a 40% decline in the number of commercial real estate transactions in the first three months of the year.
Deciding whether to remain in the EU was a choice for voters to make, the IMF said, adding that "their decisions will reflect both economic and non-economic factors".
