Overview
- Analytica’s latest Changuito Federal finds a middle‑class family needed over ARS 800,000 on average in October to stock a monthly supermarket basket.
- Tierra del Fuego recorded the sharpest monthly rise at 5.3%, followed by Chubut (4.3%), Río Negro (3.8%), and Neuquén and Santa Cruz (3.7%).
- Santa Cruz had the most expensive basket at ARS 834,177, keeping Patagonia as the region with the highest prices in pesos.
- NEA provinces showed the lowest listed costs, yet the basket represents 29.5% of two average salaries there versus 15.7% in Patagonia.
- Sunflower oil and dairy products led the monthly increases while eggs were broadly steady, with prices compared using identical brands and pack sizes across major online supermarkets.
