Many foods are already cheaper than a year ago

Overall, food cost 10.4 percent more than last October.

“However, we were able to buy milk, dairy products, eggs and fats cheaper than a year before”

– pointed out Csaba Héjja, senior analyst of MBH Bank’s Agricultural and Food Business, adding that the price of eggs and flour also decreased significantly. The former is 17 and the latter almost 15 percent cheaper than a year ago.

“This is also remarkable because last October flour was a price-stop product, so it could be bought at a fixed price at the October 2021 level. In other words, the price of flour is not only lower than last year, but also lower than two years ago”

he highlighted.
