Traders Announce Price Increases
A tour of supermarkets in Slovenia last week confirmed what consumers in Serbia often comment on – that the prices of groceries and non-food items there, as in other European countries, are significantly lower than here. Even in the same retail chains, the prices of certain items are 10 to 20 percent lower, while the assortment is incomparably better and richer, especially in the category of non-food items. Everything is more or less accessible, and they also have higher salaries and a realistically higher purchasing power. What also differs in favor of Slovenians is the number of promotions and discounts, even on a daily basis, which allows for better control of the household budget and cost planning.
