In the past year, six out of ten basic shopping basket products analysed by the Consumer Organization (OCU) have increased their price, especially fresh foods, which have risen 6.7%.

On Wednesday, the OCU presented the main findings of its annual supermarket study, which visited more than 700 establishments and received 106,320 prices for a basket full of 241 foods.

According to the selected supermarket, the average savings in the shopping basket could be €1,132 this year, 11% less than last year.

The organization's spokeswoman, Ileana Izverniceanu, has highlighted the increase in the price of fresh products, which has increased by 8.2% in fruit and vegetables, 3.4% in fish and 7% in meat.

Eggs have increased 105% since 2021

Similarly, the increase in the cost of these products increases if the price is taken into account in 2021, when the "inflation spiral" began. For example, the price of M eggs has increased by 105% if you look at that period of time.

It is among the most expensive products, along with chocolate milk (+29%) and beef and needle steaks (+22%).

On the other hand, the prices of condensed milk (-10%), salmon slices (-11%), brig orange juice (-24%), sugar (-26%) and soft olive oil (-53%) have fallen the most from the previous year.

In the latter case, although the price of soft olive oil has fallen, the cost remains high due to increases in recent years, which is 57% more expensive than in 2021.

According to the study, the chain of Spanish supermarkets where frescoes have become more expensive has been Aldi, with almost 12%, followed by Hypercor, Ahorramas, Supercor, Froiz, Gadis and BM Urban, with increases of 9% or more.

The most moderate rise for the frescoes is Supeco, company of the Carrefour group.
