Almost 90 percent Poles admit that they feel price increases

Inflation has been above 3 percent since the beginning of this year. This means that the average level of prices of consumer goods and services compared to the same period of the previous year is over 3 percent higher. In the case of food, the increases are even twice as strong.

It's not just statistics. Research conducted by research & grow for the BIG InfoMonitor Debtors Register shows that almost 90 percent of Poles actually feel that they leave more money in shops. And not because they buy more, but because of clear price increases.

The change in the price of various products and services was noticed by 88 percent of respondents. On average, 8 out of 10 respondents say they spend more. Interestingly, 1 in 10 is convinced that spends less after all.

"Price increases are easiest to see when shopping for food, and just 62 percent of Poles indicated that visits to the grocery store are the most draining for their pockets. Although, apart from butter, it is difficult to find examples of reductions in food products in the GUS tables, a large group of 12 percent of Poles have the impression that they pay less for food than before. Every fifth (19 percent) respondent noticed that beauty and dental services have become more expensive," the report reads.
