Grocery price inflation in Ireland reached its highest level (1.7%) since October 2020 in the most recent 12-week period, putting household budgets under pressure, according to the latest data from Kantar.
According to senior retail analyst at Kantar, Emer Healy, the number of products sold on promotion dropped by 3% in January compared to last year.
“We’re already seeing evidence of people starting to shop around at different retailers to try and find the best price for their weekly shop,” she added.
