Supermarkets only want to pass on “real cost increases”.

Despite the explosion in energy prices and the war in Ukraine, supermarkets and discounters continue to watch manufacturers’ price increases very closely. Negotiations were already going on with tough drums in some cases last year, and some manufacturers were even thrown off the shelves because they couldn’t agree on the price. The dispute between the juice manufacturer Eckes-Granini and Edeka even ended up in court.

Edeka wants to continue to examine every manufacturer’s requirement “very carefully”. “We know from our discussions that many price increase demands are only partly based on real cost increases,” an Edeka spokesman told RTL/ntv.

Customers should pay particular attention to offers when it comes to meat, sausage and dairy products. Because even if the normal price for the product groups mentioned increases significantly, there will still be strong offers at the supermarkets and discounters every week in the future. If you shop cleverly, you can still save a lot of money.
