Inflation in Germany fell from 7.2 percent in April to 6.1 percent in May, according to Eurostat. Energy prices, in particular, are falling, which is calming inflation.

Many prices in supermarkets and discounters such as Aldi, Lidl, Rewe and Kaufland have already fallen recently. But many people still suffer most from the horrendous prices for food: many have to pay close attention to which products they can afford when shopping.. In recent months, consumers have suffered from skyrocketing prices for vegetables, butter and the like.
