Supermarket prices up 18.5% in less than a year

NL Times  

Netherlands residents paid an average of 18.5 percent more for their groceries in supermarkets last month than in September 2021, NOS reports based on a study by market researcher GfK. “On average, they spend about 7,000 to 8,000 euros on groceries per year,” said Norman Buysse of GfK. “They quickly pay about 1,500 euros more for the same groceries than a year ago.” Between September 2021 and the end of July 2022, GfK monitored the prices of 55 essential products at nine supermarket chains. “Nobody buys exactly that basket, but it gives a good picture of what the prices are doing in the supermarket,” Buysse said.
