Phileleftheros’s basket is 62.25 euros more expensive than last year
Prices have generally increased over the past few years, leading to consumers paying more and buying less when visiting supermarkets. This has resulted in many consumers changing their shopping habits, opting for cheaper or lower-quality products and buying only essentials. The price indices for basic consumer products have shown increases in various categories, with some products like fresh vegetables and greens seeing significant price hikes. On the other hand, some products like frozen pasta and sugar have seen price decreases. A survey conducted by Phileleftheros found that the cost of 35 household products has increased by €62.25 compared to the previous year, resulting in a significant impact on the budgets of low and middle-income consumers.
