Shoppers facing a €330 hike in grocery bills 

The cost of groceries rose by 5.5% in Ireland during 2021.

The average household faces a €330 hike on its annual shopping bill as grocery price inflation hits its highest level in almost a decade.

Data on the Irish grocery market shows all the major retailers saw take-home grocery sales fall by 7.2% over the 12 weeks to April 17, 2022, compared to the same period last year, as consumers feel the pinch.
