According to the Minfin portal, the prices for cucumbers have begun to rise. For example, prickly cucumbers, which cost about 54 UAH per kilogram last summer, are now selling for 67.50 UAH.
The situation with smooth cucumbers is even more serious: the price has risen from 53 UAH to 74 UAH per kilogram. The best price can be found at Auchan for 69.90 UAH, while at Megamarket they cost already 78.90 UAH.
There are also noticeable fluctuations in tomato prices. For example, a kilogram of the 'plum' tomato variety sells for 72.70 UAH at Metro and 97.20 UAH at Megamarket, which represents almost a 25 UAH difference.
The gap in the value of pink tomatoes is even larger: Auchan offers them for 52.50 UAH, while at Novus the price reaches 87.99 UAH. On the other hand, the price of red tomatoes at Auchan decreased from 107 UAH to 89 UAH per kilogram compared to July.
Therefore, when choosing a supermarket for shopping, it is important to carefully monitor prices for vegetables and regularly compare them to save money. Also, do not forget about prices for meat and dairy products.
