Since the pandemic, food prices have risen: last summer saw record price increases, but since then annual inflation has been steadily slowing down. Why might a customer still feel like they are spending more in the store?

On the one hand, the drastic rise in price caused by the pandemic did not disappear, did not subside, as did patient numbers after the first wave. In fact, even now there may be differences of thousands of forints in the total amount of a large purchase, compared to the expenditures a year earlier. However, how much of a difference customers perceive depends mostly on what products are typically used to load their baskets and whether they are more expensive. (penzcentrum.hu, Koós Anna)
