An alarming increase in grocery prices won't be going away any time soon.
It comes as the latest Infometrics-Foodstuffs New Zealand Grocery Supplier Cost Index data, showing a rise in cost increases from suppliers by more than 10 percent in November.
Around seven-thousand-800 items increased in cost, nearly three times as many items as in November 2019.
Infometrics chief economist Brad Olsen says inflation is making this increase a lot more uncomfortable, despite the seasonal effects.
He says the wider spread increase in general grocery goods suggests there is a much broader effect coming into play here.
