Food prices are rising - How to save money when shopping

According to a report by amp.infranken.de, food prices are rising and are unlikely to become cheaper. The increased food prices are due to various factors such as energy and electricity costs, fertilizer and feed prices, and a shortage of agricultural labor. These factors have an impact on the cost structure of the food industry and lead to price increases. However, the consumer advice center points out that not all food price increases are justified.

The effects of rising prices are particularly noticeable for people with low incomes, recipients of basic state security benefits, pensioners, students and trainees. It is not expected that food prices will return to lower levels in the future.

The rising prices are particularly noticeable for fruit, sugar, jam, honey, bread, vegetables and fish. In order to still save on food shopping, various tips are given, such as comparing prices, shopping seasonally, taking advantage of offers on food shortly before the best-before date and storing fresh food correctly to avoid waste.

The impact on the market and consumers is therefore clearly noticeable, and it is advisable to pay attention to savings opportunities and conscious consumption in order to counteract rising food prices.
