Auchan to be cheapest retail chain in Poland, but Poles boycott it

Poland's cheapest shops will be under a veritable siege in the coming months. Food prices went up by 19.3 percent in September, according to a preliminary estimate by the Central Statistical Office (GUS). They had risen by 17.4 percent in August, by 15.3 percent in July, and by 14.1 percent in June.

ASM Sales Force Agency's latest Shopping Basket shows that year-on-year, all chains taking part in the survey raised prices in August.
