The new year started badly for supermarket customers.
Many groceries have become more expensive again.
Dairy products are particularly affected.
Cologne/Munich - Anyone who went shopping in the New Year and perhaps checked the receipts and prices will have noticed that some groceries have become more expensive in the supermarkets since the turn of the year.
But not only the price increase itself should annoy many consumers, but also the affected products: They are everyday items.
There was actually positive news at the end of 2022.
Inflation had already surprisingly fallen in November and even dropped significantly in December.
But in January, the next price shock followed in the supermarkets, and the trend towards ever-increasing food prices is continuing.
In addition to toast and margarine, dairy and milk products in particular have become more expensive.
That's what Focus
writes online
and refers to the dealer's new price table.
Prices have risen again: Margarine now costs significantly more
The medium writes of more than "100 price changes in the branches since the beginning of the year".
This is particularly severe with margarine.
In the best case, consumers now have to pay 1.69 euros for it.
Previously, this price was 1.29 euros.
This corresponds to an increase of 40 percent.
The increase is similarly high for 100 coffee filters (99 instead of 69 cents).
Butter had already become considerably more expensive last year.
Milk has once again become more expensive.
At least the increase here is not quite as blatant.
According to Focus online
, supermarket customers pay
between four and six cents per liter more, depending on the brand and type of milk.
Supermarkets are increasing prices for dairy products by around ten percent
If you consult all the more expensive dairy products, you end up with a price increase of around ten percent.
These include quark, whipped cream and coffee cream, yoghurt and crème fraîche.
Organic mountain cheese falls negatively out of line.
A 150 gram pack now costs 2.29 euros, down from 1.49 euros previously.
Rewe boss Lionel Souque expects that supermarkets will “make significantly less profit than in the past two years” due to higher costs for goods, personnel, energy and logistics.
Although sales in the food trade increased significantly again in 2022, this was not "healthy growth because it is not driven by volume growth, but was mainly due to inflation," said Souque of the German press Agency.
