Food prices have risen for the second month in a row. Fast-food prices have gone up by 55% since 2018. Inflation in October was 8.27%, with food prices showing a slight decrease. However, the overall cost of everyday items remains elevated. A report suggests that disrupting supermarket monopolies would have minimal effect on grocery prices.
