You think Brits and us have problems check out Spain "Darling, do you remember last year when everything was way cheaper?" Juan, 36, complains to his wife about rising prices every time he comes back from the supermarket. It’s not an unusual scene in a Spanish household: in the last year, the cost of living has been steeply rising, with prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages leading the way. But this time around, it has been too much. February hit a record high, with an average weekly food basket increasing 16.6% compared to the same month last year, according to the latest data released by the National Statistics Institute (INE). Last month’s increase has been the highest since 1994, when detailed records were first started. "This situation is forcing us to keep looking and comparing prices," Juan told Euronews. The engineer, who lives with his wife and six-month-old baby says he's seen a 20% increase in the price of his shopping basket compared to last year. And he knows his numbers. www.euronews.com/2023/03/16/i-cant-save-money-spains-supermarket-inflation-hits-record-high
