I can relate. Food prices are crazy high even here in the States--they're like that pretty much everywhere--I've started growing my own groceries again.
I used to do that years ago and had to get 2 chest freezers to hold it all and still have some to give away to the neighbors. I quit because the climate got too hostile to growing even with the irrigation lines I installed. Nobody's got it easy, anywhere.
I've still utilized both freezers for the purpose of buying stuff when a price on something falls to what used to pass as regular price, buy a bulk of it and freeze it for the year...like the turkeys for Thanksgiving. Bought 6 that were over 20lbs only to find they all had excess water weight added (Butterball).
Beef is still astronomical, even the ground type.
Pork is high but not as bad as beef, and chicken has come down off its bird flu scarcity tho it's still not what it used to be.
Anyway, that's how I'm managing. I've got a winter garden patch but only for cold-tolerant veggies and there are 3 tomato vines that are still hanging in there from summer...but that's a veggie that's extra picky about conditions for producing. They're not gonna produce under current conditions.
