PLN 105 and 99 groszy — this is how much you currently have to pay for basic food products, as told by the experts of the PanParagon application. This is almost PLN 3 more expensive compared to the previous week.
It hasn't been this expensive for a long time. The last time our basket exceeded the ceiling of PLN 105 was at the end of May this year. In summer and autumn, stores were usually not expensive, and basket prices were often below PLN 100.
Tomato prices increase by as much as 14%.
Now it's expensive again. The price of raspberry tomatoes increased by as much as 14.1% on a weekly basis. 1 kg currently costs almost PLN 18. The prices of chicken breasts (by 4.3%) and red peppers (by 2.4%) also increased.

Fortunately, there are also products that are significantly cheaper. These are, for example, wheat flour for cakes (a decrease of 9% on a weekly basis) or potatoes (a decrease of 7.1%). The prices of apples and bananas also dropped. The price of a kaiser roll remains unchanged – on average we spend 36 groszy on it.

Why do we analyze receipts?
Data from receipts tell us the truth about how much Poles pay on average for individual items. We analyze 14 basic products that are on the shopping lists of most Poles.
PanParagon is a popular application that allows you to search for promotions and store receipts. Every month, approximately 2 million proofs of purchase enter the system. Such extensive, anonymous data from receipts allows us to create reliable analyzes regarding, among others: actual product prices, real inflation or current purchasing trends.
The tool is used by residents of both large cities and smaller centers. Both those who buy in discount stores and those who prefer local grocery stores. This gives us a full price range.
