Prices for drugstores and foods climb ceaselessly!
Bipa, Österreich - Price policy for drugstores and branded products remains tense and ensures frustration among consumers. According to a current report from 5min.at, the AK price monitor shows that prices for the cheapest drugstore were reduced by only six percent in January 2025 compared to the previous year. The price decline for individual articles such as hair balm and shampoo is clear, while other products such as cling film and shaving foam have increased by up to 136 percent. Gabriele Zgubic from the AK warns that despite the slightly sunken basic prices, the burden on household health insurance companies is still enormous: "The price of price is hardly noticeable, the prices remain at a high level".
In addition, the Chamber of Labor reports that the inflation remains high, especially for food and cleaning agents. In September 2023, the prices for branded drug goods in the online shops of BIPA, DM and Müller rose by an average of 1.3 percent, while essential foods became 2.4 percent more expensive, according to the analysis of the Arbeiterkammer.at. Products such as orange juice and olive oil recorded price increases by up to 17 percent or 14 percent. These developments present many consumers to the challenge of adapting their budgets, since even supposedly cheaper branded items have become significantly more expensive.price increases in detail
