In fact, in historical terms, food is cheaper than ever around the world thanks to mass production. But here the issue is that many people live paycheck to paycheck, and let's assume that a family that spends 400 euros on food, if food becomes 550 euros, they won't be able to make ends meet. They are going to have to buy cheaper things or cut back elsewhere if they can. This also means that people who spend a small amount of money on savings will not be able to continue saving. And let's remember that the rise in prices does not only affect food, it is generalized.

Some people won't be able to save money but it's the price we have to pay because of sanctions. Is it good in long-term? Definitely, the more independent you are the better.
I even think that it may be better if some of our habits change. Unlike Europe, in Asia families live together. Implementing of this habit can lessen the costs and improve/keep current quality of life because rent is a serious waste of money and by getting the rid of rent payments, saved money can outweigh the cons of increased food prices.
