Grocery prices rose by four percent; notably pet food, meat and salad cost more

NL Times  

Grocery prices have increased on average between three to four percent compared to last year, the AD reported. Prices for fresh meat products, salads and bread even rose by nine percent, a study by the research agency GfK showed. “The price increase of many products is higher than the inflation rate of 1.9 percent”, Norman Buysse from the GfK explained. “The highest increase was noted in prices for pet food, meat products and salad. As a result, we use less deodorant and brush our teeth less often.” The price increase is even more notable due to people spending more money on food in the grocery store since the first lockdown.
