Bulk shopping has become significantly cheaper: more than 900 products are available at much lower prices than a year ago

Despite the inflationary pressure of the past year, the prices of more than 900 products in the supermarket chain’s range have decreased. Thanks to the favorable-priced selection, which mainly includes food products, shopping can be done at a price that is at least 5 percent lower than the average price for the period January-March 2025. The most significant, with a 20-58% decrease, include more than 200 items, including smoked-cooked tied shoulder ham, three types of kalács, Dijon mustard and Hellmann’s mayonnaise, baking powder and gelatin, as well as quality drinks such as Beefeater and Tanqueray gins (the latter also in non-alcoholic versions), Johnnie Walker Black Label or Tesco Finest Pinot Grigio, all of which can be perfect ingredients for Easter meals or entertaining guests. At the same time, products that are often found in the kitchens and dining tables of Hungarian families can also be found among the most affordable items in the deflation basket. For example, among dairy products, sour cream, sliced ​​Gouda and Edam cheese, Hungarian natural buttercream or the more special buffala mozzarella and parenyica; tinned codfish and pickles; vegetables and fruits such as lecsó peppers, celery tubers, parsley roots, carrots, purple cabbage and pears; winter salami and dried sausages, which are popular stars of their breakfasts and snacks, Nesquik cocoa drink, Győri Édes oat snacks or the delicacies such as mangalica smoked delicatessen bacon and smoked sliced ​​salmon fillet; and instant rice, tarhonya and (thread) medlar among the ingredients of cooked dishes.
