The supermarket chain Aldi* is currently increasing its prices in many places, reports the dpa.

This affects both products in the branches of Aldi Nord*, as well as in the branches of Aldi Süd*.

The Aldi chain is reacting to the increased costs caused by the Ukraine war * and the Corona crisis *.

Price shock at Aldi: That's what the group says

The group is now passing on the increased prices charged by manufacturers to its customers.

"Where the costs in purchasing change due to the current market situation, we also have to increase the sales prices," said a company spokesman to the dpa.

Aldi shocks customers with significantly increased prices - around 400 products from the discounter are more expensive.

The Ukraine war is having an impact: Aldi prices are rising on all fronts

The Ukraine war was probably the last straw.

Aldi had already had to deal with many problems in purchasing, according to a spokesman.

• Current challenges in the market, according to Aldi:

• Irregularities in international sea freight

• The Omicron Wave

• The fundamental international shortage of truck drivers

• Increased costs for energy and raw materials

The war in Ukraine caused purchase prices to rise again.

It is part of the discounter model, says Aldis about the price increases.

"We would like to point out that our margins will not change as a result of this step," a spokesman told dpa.

Aldi prices: which products are affected by the increase

According to the Lebensmittelzeitung, the increase in price varies depending on the product.

The price increases can be found in many product groups and range from euro cent amounts to whole euro jumps.

• These product groups are affected:

• coffee

• drugstore items

• Bakery products

• laundry detergent

• snacks

• frozen products

However, various drugstore items, baked goods, detergents, salty snacks and frozen products have also become more expensive.

Even mineral water is getting more expensive.

Here the price has remained stable for more than ten years at 19 euro cents, writes the Lebensmittel-Zeitung.

The cheapest mineral water will soon be sold over the counter for 25 euro cents.
