German Supermarkets Substantially Raise Food Product Prices

German supermarket chains including Aldi and Lidl have announced they will be significantly raising prices on some goods, such as cooking oils and other food products due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The German supermarket chains have indicated that due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, they will be increasing the prices of some goods as the renewed conflict has had a significant impact on global commodity prices.

Some prices are set to rise as much as 30 per cent, and in some cases as much as 50 per cent this week, and newspaper Berliner Zeitung reports the items impacted will include: “cooking oil, butter and margarine… also chocolate, crisps, preserves, sausage, spreads and cheese”.

“Due to the situation on the world markets, we will experience jumps in sales prices that have never been seen before,” Managing Director Communications at Aldi North Florian Scholbeck said and added, “There will be no empty shelves.”

“There will be no empty shelves.” Uh, because nobody can afford to buy the stuff on said shelves? Coming soon to a store near you. Weird but IIRC at one time some farmers were paid to NOT produce certain items and we had so much we were giving it away overseas. And government butter. What happened to that? And cheese too.

Two weeks ago Aldi’s bratwursts jumped from $2.99 to $3.49. I wonder if they’re going to jump again.

I have a cougar tag pretty much for only if they show up in my yard.

If I get one, you are on the list for meat.

Before the war, prices for many food products I buy at local grocer went up 25% in one pop. Luckily, we’ve always had relatively cheap food in my part of the country.

You can blame the Russians if you wish. It doesn’t matter. It’s still not working out ok for the West.

Those darn Ukrainians! If only they hadn't gone and provoked those peace-loving Russians!

And, of course, in all of this, the Ukrainians are the ones who are suffering the least.
