The exceptions were the average retail price of Ground Beef and Christmas Cake, which were slightly lower than last year's average retail price for both products.
As for fresh meats, the Consumer Protection Agency said in a statement that prices were obtained from 90 outlets (large and small supermarkets and neighbourhood butchers), while for delicacies from 49 outlets (large supermarkets and bakeries).
