In the store, lemons at 450 rubles per kilogram, ginger at 1500 rubles per kilogram: my thoughts, why such prices

Admin

I wanted to buy lemon in the store and ginger to increase immunity, but I saw the prices and could not afford these products. The lemon was worth 449.99 per share. rubles per kilogram.

These are the prices in my city of Kursk, the Europe store is a local large supermarket chain. Due to quarantine, I order products with delivery through the website. We don't leave the house now. The photo in the address bar has the address of the store, if you want to be sure of the prices, take a look.

I have never seen such prices in my entire life!

Back on March 20, I made an order in this store and lemons cost 200 rubles per kilogram, I already thought that it was very expensive, but I bought a couple of them. But at the current price, I won't even buy one lemon.

It's more expensive than beef. I used to take ginger for about 350 rubles per kilogram. But not 1,500 rubles!

I am very indignant at such prices, where did they come from? Now people are sitting at home, some do not receive a salary at all, and then prices have soared.

Apparently the shopkeepers decided to make money in this way, but this is wrong. People began to actively buy these products, because they increase immunity and were available to everyone, especially lemons. We must help each other, especially in such a difficult time. Why is everyone trying to cash in on the situation?

I would like the food prices to be controlled and not allowed to "bully" them as it was done in China. There has not been such a jump in prices for any product several times?

Ginger and lemon are not a delicacy, but ordinary foods ...

What do you think about all this, what are your thoughts, write in the comments. I hope that prices for all products will remain the same, or will not rise so much.

At home, there is still a little ginger and 2 lemons from the last purchase, I will save... Yeah :)
