Cooking from scratch decreased in the past four weeks as people returned to schools and offices
Grocery sales dipped by 2.3 per cent over the past 12 weeks.
It's being attributed to Irish people slowly returning to their pre-pandemic routines, according to research from Kantar.
Cooking from scratch decreased in the past four weeks as people returned to schools and offices, and shoppers spent an extra 7-point-5 million euro on convenient options like pizza and ready meals.
An extra 189-thousand trips were made to the supermarket over the past three months, driven by shoppers running out for one or two items at a time rather than relying on a big weekly shop like they did during lockdown.
