Data from DECO (Associação Portuguesa para a Defesa do Consumidor) sent to Lusa show the price of a box of six eggs has risen by about €0.50 since February 2025 and has been broadly stable so far in 2026, ECO and CNN Portugal report. The outlets cite the same overall change but differ on baseline figures reported, so exact past prices vary by source. Shoppers and anyone budgeting household groceries should factor slightly higher basic‑food costs into monthly spending.

Context & Explainers
Deco Proteste is a Portuguese consumer-protection organisation that offers advice, product testing, dispute mediation and information on billing, insurance and consumer rights. Today it set up a telephone helpline to help people affected by severe weather with payment moratoria, insurance claims, housing damage and billing adjustments; services are mainly in Portuguese and some help may be reserved for members, so callers should have policy numbers, photos and receipts ready.
