With the festive season approaching, retailers are bracing for a 6.5% increase in the cost of Christmas dinners. This year’s statistical data highlights soaring prices for essential items like turkeys, potatoes, and carrots, contributing to the staggering increase. Retail analyst Faso Mvit informed viewers that while the cost of the Christmas dinner has sharply risen, there is a silver lining in that overall grocery price inflation remains relatively low at 2.6%.
