With inflation figures released on Tuesday, BBC News NI visited a local café and burger van to assess the impact on spending.
A Ballymoney café owner has said despite inflation remaining at a steady rate, customers are not seeing the benefit in their pockets.
“I value my customers and I try my best to make sure that they can afford to eat out, but if I was to increase my prices with inflation I would have no customers left,” he said. Ms McKee said: "We used to go to different places all the time, but now we would not bother this is a treat we can now afford once month."“It’s an extra 30 to 40 pence per litre, but it makes a massive difference."'I have not been to a cafe in over a year'Vicky Sanderson said being able to take her family out for a meal regularly was “unrealistic”.“Prices are going up, and my mortgage has increased over £100 a month,” she said.
