Breakfast is becoming a costly affair in South Africa.
It costs 11.1% more to fry up a traditional farmhouse breakfast in South Africa compared to a year ago, as the cost of living continues to rise in the country.
The prices used in the South African index come from Consumer Price Inflation numbers tracked by Statistics South Africa. The reason breakfast is chosen is that it is a common meal that many households in the country would make and is reflective of the real impact of price inflation on daily life. According to Stats SA, bread and cereals, alongside meat and dairy, are currently driving food prices higher in South Africa.
The dairy index registered an annual increase of 10.5%, the highest rate since February 2017 . Products recording significant monthly increases include long-life full-cream milk , fresh full-cream milk and cheddar cheese .Looking at the latest CPI data for October 2022, the overall cost to make breakfast is R395.68, up 0.7% month-on-month from R392.89 in September 2022.
