Prices for potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, apples: is it worth looking for cheap products at the market.


Ukrainians are actively preparing for winter and stocking up on vegetables and fruits. They buy them fresh or make preserves. Many are interested in the cost of potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, and apples.
Khvylya conducted a study of vegetable and fruit prices at the Odessa market "Privoz" and in supermarkets. Despite expectations, the price difference turned out to be small.
Old potatoes at Privoz are sold from 20 to 35 UAH/kg, while the average price in supermarkets is 26.32 UAH/kg. That is, supermarkets offer a price that is 4% lower than the average market price.
The situation with tomatoes is similar. They cost from 50 to 120 UAH/kg at Privoz, while the average price in supermarkets is 74.63 UAH/kg, which is 7% lower than the average market price.
