Price of groceries expected to go up, and up

Shopping could pinch your wallet even more in the days, weeks to come.

Exorbitant costs of freight and skyrocketing prices of raw materials continue to have “calamitous repercussions” on the price of a number of commodities.

Soaring prices of medications, cooking oil, petrol, rice, cheese, canned food, electricity bills were only a prelude to the real deal, consumer rights activists have denounced.

Increase in the prices of more canned food products, pasta and pasta sauces, fruit juices, spices, perfumes, cosmetics, soap and shower gel, diapers, body milk and laundry detergents are also going expected very soon.
