Hi Ameerah! The cost of living in France has indeed risen rapidly after the COVID. Our family has been shopping regularly at a discount food store. When we visit the countryside, we contact small local producers to get fresh produce at great prices. This summer we got mirabelles for 2 euros per kilo, with free figs and courgettes thrown into the deal!

Good luck for your article!
