Trips to the supermarket are becoming increasingly difficult for families, who are feeling the weight of inflation in their household budgets. Food is no exception, with a rise in prices, and it is now more expensive to bring a basket of food than it was a year ago. Now, bringing a shopping trolley of essential goods costs £222.16, £38.53 more than before the war in Ukraine.
Dairy products are on the list of foods whose value has risen most, in percentage terms, with milk, cheese, yoghurts and butter costing, on average, €3.34 more than last year. Meat and fish are also on this list, with the latter registering a 21.80% increase. Groceries went up by 19.64%, followed by fruit and vegetables, with an increase of 19.30%.
