  • Greek retailers have announced price reductions, but consumers still pay more for several products than they did in July.
  • Shampoo cited in the report rose from €2.43 in July to €3.25, while orange juice increased from €3.14 to €4.05.
  • Consumers say the announced reductions are not yet noticeable at the checkout.

Price cuts are being announced, but shoppers are still asking what they actually see on supermarket shelves. In several cases, earlier increases were followed by reductions that did not bring prices back to July levels.

A bottle of shampoo that cost €2.43 in July now sells for €3.25, nearly 34% more. Orange juice has risen from €3.14 to €4.05.

Consumers describe the same experience: announcements refer to lower prices, but many say they cannot feel the relief at the checkout. Prices may have fallen from their peaks, yet they remain above where they started. The question remains when shoppers will see a real reduction at the register.
