The price acceleration will feel strongly in these Fiestas: a Christmas dinner for four people costs up to 228% more than the same month last year, ranking well above the 160% annualized inflation that was recorded by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC).
This is clear from a report by the consulting firm Focus Marketwhich carried out surveys of shelf values for three types of menus: Economical, Intermediate y Premium. The three options include main course, dessert, sweet table and toast.

From the perspective of the director of the consulting firm, Damian Di Pacelos macroeconomic imbalances as the high fiscal deficit, the low level of reserves and subsidies caused “a growth in monetary expansion that is now beginning to be reflected in the entire marketing chain.”
According to Di Pace, the inflationary effects of money printing can be observed “from origin to destination without the possibility of anchors until now more than the limit of the income of Argentines that during the last 10 years have lost up to more than four times their level of purchasing power in real terms”.
“Changómetro”: how much the sweet table has increased since 2017
The Agricultural Foundation for the Development of Argentina (FADA) prepares a report every month called “Changometer“which measures the temperature of the prices of the products most consumed by Argentines throughout the year.
Gas rate increases: when will the public hearings be held to define the increases?
“We analyzed that this family moment, calculated for 10 people, “It costs us 25 times what it cost in 2017. We lost a total of 368 toasts,” indicated the FADA economist, Natalia Arino regarding the inflationary escalation that Argentina experienced.
Following this line of argument, Ariño maintained that the survey carried out on the classic items of the Holidays yielded a worrying result: setting up a sweet table to toast at midnight ““It cost us $650 in 2017 and now $16,400.”
“With $5,000 in 2017 we might buy 78 sweet breads, today we only have enough for 2. We lost 76, in six years. If we see it in peanut nougat, before we bought 284 and today only 10We end up with 274 less packages. In the case of the sugared It’s the same: before we had enough 322 packages and now only 9“, details the analysis.
And they added: “The situation is repeated with the peanut dessert, the chocolate almonds, the pudding. Every product on our sweet table has been affected by inflation. With $5,000 six years ago we bought 133 peanut desserts or 52 packages of chocolate almonds or 119 puddings. Today we only have enough for 4 desserts o 3 packets of almendras or 7 budines”.
