Romir: spending on consumer goods increased by 21.5 percent
From September 30 to October 6, the average Russian family spent 7,451 rubles on food and everyday goods. Experts from the research holding came to this conclusion “Romir”.
Thus, over the week this figure decreased by 259 rubles (the previous value was 7 thousand 710 rubles). However, when compared with data for the same period last year, spending increased by 1 thousand 321 rubles, or 21.5 percent. A year ago we were talking about the amount of 6 thousand 130 rubles.
Experts note that, despite seasonality, prices for some products may rise, which will result in a decrease in the number of goods purchased and a decrease in expenses. In addition, at the beginning of October, many may refuse to make large purchases in anticipation of the holidays, which will result in a reduction in overall spending.
Earlier, the head of the Fisheries Information Agency, Alexander Savelyev, warned that by the New Year, red caviar in Russia will rise in price by 15 percent.
In addition, there are forecasts that in the winter of 2024 tangerines will double in price in the Russian Federation. The reason is difficulties with logistics and cross-border payments. In addition, coffee prices will rise by 20-30 percent by the end of the year.
In the first half of September 2024, the price of butter, bread, cucumbers, ham and cheese has already increased in Russia. In addition, from September 14 to 21, the so-called Bears Index increased by 1.7 percent. It takes into account the cost of Fruit-tella gummy bears, “Bear Clubfoot”, J-7 orange juice, the cheapest loaf of white bread, carrots, bananas, “Mathias” herring, “Domik v Village” milk and some other goods.
