Chris Quin: Foodstuffs Managing Director says shoppers may have to stick to a budget for Christmas meals due to high food prices - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Purchasing Christmas lunch will be more expensive than last year despite falling food prices. 

For a third month in a row, food prices have continued to fall, but they're still 6% higher than a year ago. 

Grocery food's 7% increase was one of the largest contributors to the annual change. 

Foodstuffs managing director Chris Quin told Mike Hosking that he expects most shoppers will have to stick to a budget this Christmas. 

He says people will have to look at the food options that fit their budget.
