Supermarkets and discounters have turned the price screw again this week. Many groceries and drugstore products have become more expensive. FOCUS Online says where consumers have to pay more.
Inflation remains at a high level. Raw materials are still expensive and the tank discount for diesel and petrol is smaller. All of this has an impact on people’s everyday lives. In supermarkets and discounters in particular, Germans feel the higher prices.
Prices change almost weekly. Trade experts speak of a “dynamic situation”. In some cases, employees have to change prices on the shelves on a weekly basis.
In the past seven days, more than 20 products on the shelf have become more expensive. FOCUS Online makes the weekly price radar.
In the previous week, prices for quark and yoghurt products rose. Edible and low-fat quark, for example, costs 50 cents more across the board.
In the past few days there have been price adjustments for cheese and potato products again. These include Gouda, butter cheese and Emmental. Here customers have to pay up to ten cents more for the products. Branded spreadable cheese products have become ten cents more expensive across the board.

Emmentaler became more expensive at Rewe. Customers now pay ten cents more at the checkout. The price rose from 2.09 euros to 2.19 euros.

Buttered vegetables from the freezer have also become more expensive. Consumers now have to pay 69 cents for 300 grams. A week ago the product cost 59 cents.
Rewe charges 1.69 euros for one kilogram of Kaisergemüse. Ten days ago the price was still 1.65 euros. Makes an increase of four cents. And frozen fries also went up by ten cents.
Dumplings in a cooking bag also became more expensive. For example at Edeka from the own brand “Gut und Billig”. In a Munich branch, the pack no longer costs 1.19 euros (previous week), but 1.29 euros (June 24).
The cheapest ketchup bottle costs over 1 euro at Aldi Süd, Aldi Nord, Penny, Rewe, Norma and Lidl. Within the past few days, the bottle price has risen by 20 cents to over 1.05 euros. This also applies to the “Rich” brand at Netto Marken-Discount. The product was still available for 89 cents last summer. The bottle is now available for 1.09 euros.
Tortilla chips have also become more expensive by ten cents. For example at Rewe. From 99 cents, the “Yes” bag is now available for 1.19 euros.
The half-liter bottle of apple spritzer now costs 89 cents at Aldi, Rewe, Edeka and Hit instead of 75 cents. A price increase of 14 cents.
