The dealers in Ebersberg offer their goods for sale almost every Wednesday.

But they are also having trouble with the price increases - an interim result.

Ebersberg – Sebastian Gommlich was amazed when he bought the ingredients for his pizza and other delicacies: food prices had risen by more than 100 percent several times.

"It's been brutal since the beginning of the year," summarizes the food truck owner.

Passing on the constantly rising costs to his customers at the Ebersberg weekly market is hardly reasonable, explains Gommlich and swings the pizza dough.

Here and there he has raised the prices by ten percent, but that's "not possible" one to one, says the chef and slaps the dough back onto the board.

"Big praise from the pizza baker Gommlich to the market customers

So far, his customers don't seem to mind the increase: six people are waiting in line in front of him for a warm lunch menu.

"Ebersberg's clientele is very quality-conscious," says Gommlich, adding "big praise" to his store customers.

He is also aware that with prices rising everywhere, people have to save somewhere, "but they probably don't cut corners when it comes to treating themselves," is his conclusion so far.

At fruit and vegetable retailer Kevin Stockinger, who is currently taking a short breather in the driver's cockpit, the rush of customers has "so far remained the same." He had to increase his prices by around 20 percent.

Although the increases were significantly higher last winter when fruit and vegetables had to be imported from Holland or Italy, he clarifies.

Now in the summer, when regional goods can be sold again, the prices rise much less.

"People here know what's going on," says Stockinger and winks sleepily.

"I have the feeling that there are fewer people, but I couldn't pin it down to anything now," says Konrad Schäfer, a specialist bakery salesman and "market stallholder" a few meters away.

He couldn't say whether that was due to inflation or the holiday season.

He too had to raise the prices of his baked goods twice.

Above all, milk and butter are the strongest cost drivers, he explains.

"So far I've been spared quite a bit, but in winter at Christmas time the prices will definitely go up again," he suspects.

After all, November brings with it the need for Christmas cookies and with it more and more expensive baking ingredients.

But now he has to keep working.

According to Roland Ober, known as “Käseober” on the market, September is generally a bad time for market stalls: “Only when the Wiesn is over does it start again,” is his experience.

After all, many are still on vacation or on vacation.

In addition, various families need a "pig's money" to stock their offspring for the start of school, so there is no need for rising prices for fewer cheese customers.

For the time being, Käseober is “not so affected by a serious increase in costs due to rising gas prices.” After all, Ober gets many of his products from France – “And they don’t heat that much with gas.” the market to eat well than having a fancy car in front of the door.

And people have learned to get by more easily with less.”
