20,1% : this is the average increase in prices in supermarkets observed by Test Achats for the month of April 2023, compared to the month of April 2022. This is a slight drop in inflation measured by the defense association of consumers, which analyzes the evolution of the prices of approximately 3,000 references in Belgian stores, including Carrefour, Colruyt, Cora, Delhaize, Aldi and Lidl. Indeed, for the month of March, the record had been beaten: +20.6%, inflation in supermarkets never seen before.
This month, they are again the vegetables whose price has risen sharply over one year (+35%). It climbs up to +62% for onions ! In question: the weather conditions, as often. Besides, we see that sauces are increasing quite well, probably because of the BBQ season, which is increasing demand.
These increases have very concrete consequences on your budget. For example, a family of 2 spends on average 527€ per month at the supermarket. That’s €88 more than a year ago, and €6 more than last month. In September 2022, this amount was €468 per month…
