L’inflazione balza sopra il 3% mentre i prezzi aumentano al ritmo più veloce da febbraio 2024

That W in your name almost made me downvote you

“Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices, up 4.3 per cent since last November, also continued to rise as supermarkets pass on higher input costs to consumers.”

This is bullshit. Grocery prices are up multiples of this everywhere in the last twelve months and on almost every item. Retailers costs might be up by 4.3% but everything in my shop is up well over 10% on last year and it makes no difference which supermarket you go to.

Source: my own experience. I religiously record weekly supermarket receipts and use them in household budgeting on a rolling spreadsheet. My household circumstances/consumption haven’t changed significantly, the average number of items bought has fallen slightly but spend has increased. I haven’t broken it down by item as there are too many variables but *all* of the averages are up well in excess of 4.3%.

Thank god for that 1.5% pay rise in Jan.
