After a slight decrease, the food basket tracked by Deco rose again, with an increase of 2.11 euros this week. The estimated price of the basic basket of products thus reached 254.73 euros.
Deco, the Portuguese consumer protection association, regularly monitors the evolution of prices of a set of basic food products. This monitoring allows for tracking the cost of living and the impact on family budgets.
The news headline, "Eating requires a lot of effort", reflects the growing difficulty that consumers face in acquiring essential food goods. The upward price trend, even after periods of slight decline, has been worrying Portuguese families.
