This analysis, from the @CCPCIreland report on grocery prices tells quite a story. Shows that average food prices in 2024 was 1% higher than 2008 levels, lagging way behind other countries. The EU average increase? 58%. Hard to figure why media coverage constantly overlooks this

Some simplistic analysis of recent food price increases in media. Yes, food prices have increased in last 12 months by a little more than general inflation (CPI). However, in last 15 yrs, CPI increased at about 2.5 times the rate of food prices and electricity 10 times.
