English term or phrase: feed through free lunch
Recession may have delated the inflationary effects of devaluation, but as economies surge, cost increases are likely to feed through. The 'free lunch' may then become more expensive.

repercutir / ...
Explanation:
Quiere decir que los aumentos de costes probablemente se repercutan (feed through) en los precios...

Para "free lunch", que es otra pregunta, deberías dar más contexto, pues no estoy seguro de que signifique lo que sugieren mis colegas. La expresión puede haberse tomado de la frase original "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" (nadie regala nada) que alude a un teorema aplicado a la ciencia informática.

ocurrir / "almuerzo gratis"


Explanation:
These are two separate questions. The "feed through" I´d just translated as "ocurrir": ...es probable que ocurran aumentos en los costes.

Para el "free lunch", pues lo traduciría literalmente y lo dejaría entre comillas, ya que se trata de una metáfora. "Almuerzo gratis"

los aumentos de los costes van a hacerse camino. El concepto "todo por nada" puede que se convierta


Explanation:
Yo interpreto un doble sentido en estas frases:


los aumentos de los costes van a encontrar su camino. El concepto de "comer gratuitamente" puede que sea/se convierta en algo más caro/costoso/costará.
