FAMILIES are spending at least
€100 more per month on food, ac-
cording to a new study by Caritas
that develops a minimum budget for
a decent living.
The top-up study was done in
February, before the Russian inva-
sion of Ukraine, which has in itself
caused the price of staple foods to
increase further.
The Caritas study shows that
basic food prices jumped by 20%
between July 2020, when the last
exercise was conducted, and Feb-
ruary 2022.
