The prices continue to rise. In October, inflation increased by 2.6% in one year according to INSEE, after an increase of 2% in September. Soaring energy prices have a lot to do with it, but not only that, since raw materials and transport are also more expensive.
The bill goes up at the checkout in supermarkets. Many products cost more than last year. Among the products whose price has exploded in one year, pasta: + 19.58% for first-price pasta compared to last year. An increase linked to poor wheat harvests this year. The raw material, which is rarer, is therefore more expensive.
Same shortage in the packaging sector, which is felt in the prices of eggs, milk and toilet paper. These increases could continue next year according to Emmanuel Cannes, price expert at NielsenIQ: “For 2022, we are considering increases that can range from 2% to 20% on certain product categories.. ” In the hygiene sector, on the other hand, some price reductions are to be noted, on toothpaste or laundry.
