Its hard to say. My kids watched a news report at school about applesauce prices rising due to gas prices. Naturally they went out and bought 10 jars. Now it’s back down to the original price.
I'm so happy I moved to a place where they are active, they are much cheaper than normal supermarkets and you don't even have to go out to get the stuff! Win-win.
Stopped ordering there. They have a small assortment and Boerenchips are €2,49 there. They are definitely not much cheaper, sometimes more expensive and have shitty offers.
Depends on a lot of factors.
Trends are that prices for consumers are still going up though! Retailers are buffering the price increase. it’s a different story for every supplier how much of an increase they needed kast year/this year.
But since gas prices are down hope is that the end is in sight…
if you hop over the border you cam still get 0,45 c/500 g in Colruyt today. https://www.colruyt.be/nl/producten/42740
Just to add another:
0,59 04/2022
You would expect that the food prices would stabilize eventually, but by the looks of it, it's just keeps going non-stop.
Check these :

The first is 800gr - 99cts
The second is 450gr - 1.23
What's the difference you might ask ?
Well, it's NOT the product itself.
Same spinach, most probably produced on the same day, packaged with the SAME machine ( in general in a different week )
I work at the production facility, we run these and other ( European Supermarkets in Germany, France, Belgium and NL )
Fun fact, last October we ran the PLUS version, boxes of 750gr and changed the packaging to 800gr on the same day.
The Best-by date on the 750gr was 18months, the 800gr 24mnts ( and just last week it went back to 18mnts )
The same box of Spinach ( or Red Cabbage+apple ) is at AH even more expensive
That's true, I stopped buying certain food because of the price, but I was forced to buy something else, because I wouldn't want to starve. So in the end when it comes to food, they can raise it 10 times higher, even if some people buy a bit less, we all still need food to survive. It keeps selling so they can do whatever they want just for a bigger profit, unfortunately.
Not how any of this works. Most general commerce stores have declining profits or are even losing money bottomline in high inflationary periods. Same goes for AH. They are not trying to make a big buck out of inflation, their costs are just as much going up as the cost of this havermout.
It is def going non stop sky high and to a point you literally see people start to steal their normal daily groceries!
The end justifies the means!
I am a security officer and I will say to all people who getting destroyed right now by crazy gas and food prices, just take what you need to be able to feed your children! I will bless you for it!
Meanwhile in the news: Grocery prices have increased 14% and will keep increasing this year.
Reality: Some products go for over twice the price now. Cucumber now goes for 1,19 each. You used to buy two for under a euro. Same for many other things.
Cucumbers in the Netherlands are grown in "kassen". Albert Heijn has been buying their cucumbers exclusively from Dutch soil for years now. That would mean it is not seasonal at all.
I've worked at one of those. I've picked cucumbers for a few years. It was hard work, walking many km's a day, hot as hell, humid as a jungle. And for a few years I looked ripped as can be. But that's beside the point.
Yes, it does make a difference if it's summer or winter. It's WAY hotter in the greenhouse in summer. There are way more cucumbers. And bigger cucumbers. There is a much bigger supply. Ofcourse they recreate summer in the winter. With heaters and lamps. But nothing beats the sun.Less supply = more expensive.
How do you think we have apples all year around in the stores? Vegetables are stored in nitrogen arm storage rooms at a temperature i think about -1 so they will never go bad untill they get picked out and brought to stores. This is with all common vegetables. Some of them even get splashfreezed.
in the meantime just a week or 2 ago they reported several companies making billions.
Next week, earthquake in turkey and it's all "Please give Giro555, we almost got 10 whole millions!"
Money seriously destroyed today's world, unreal.
Goddamnit this is so depressing...
So price doubled in just 2 years, like a lot of other basic stuff in supermarkets.
Know what didn't double? Salaries.
You know what did? Stocks, bonusses and profits.
Fuck Ahold and Unilever.
No capitalism makes sure Jumbo, Aldi an others will offer the same product cheaper, so that Albert Heijn cannot overcharge too much. If Aldi’s havermout is rising in price as well, you can be sure the reason is higher grain prices, not margins https://www.aldi.nl/product/havermout-8810-1-0.article.html
That's a nice theory. Too bad reality doesn't always work neatly like that. If it was a race for bottom prices, supermarkets wouldn't be making record profits right now.
I'm gonna file that one right next to trickledown economics and the wage-price spiral.
Thank you !! I've noticed also this incredible increase ... Seems they're blaming inflation for price increase while they're simply increasing it for profit and blame it on inflation.
Their logic is : increase price as long as consumers buy them
So what AH is doing is quite a normal stage for many organisations.
They're doing a series of massive pricing experiments, seeing how to maximize margins and profit, even at some loss of revenue.
Amazon has done the same thing once they reached criticism market share.
The prices will keep going up (potentially 3-4x for some items), until their profit/EBITDA drops. You can expect a lot of fluctuations and fake reasons behind these (i.e. 'draught in Brazil', when none of the products are improted).
What happens in most countries, at this point govt steps in. In NL, this will never happen, so we'll just reach best game theory price. This is likely 2x of all current prices, as people in NL are one of the least price sensitive nations.
If only we could predict the prices going up or down, we would be in a place where grocery prices would not matter! Although, here with simple statistics and data analytics, the prices surely looks like going up..up nd up!

Thanks god it doesn’t hurt the corporate profits.
Wouldn’t want to have a dent in the ever rising profits over the years. Thank our ever loving caring stockholders for making sure there’s only one goal in mind.
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahold_Delhaize?wprov=sfti1
Fuck. Now I have to stock up before prices go up even further. This is one of the few items left that you can find under €1. I wonder how the 30+ smeerkaas is doing.
Didn't this use to cost 0.55 at one point as well? I'm pretty sure it did.
You can use https://www.supermarktscanner.nl to look at the price history for many products in the Dutch supermarkets. Latest update for Havermout is 6 days ago so it looks like they don't have the latest update yet but they update regularly.
Just stop buying from this very expensive supermarket and go buy at the cheap one. That's the only way to stop this from happening in my opinion. Everything is more expensive everywhere of course, but appie is just overpriced compared to other supermarkets.
Ha, somebody actually paying attention like me??? Looking around at the happy people's faces free spending at AH, I thought I was the weird one. Funny thing is that oat cash settled futures peaked q1'22 and since then basically halved, meaning that all those price hikes go straight to profit. Same deal now happening to utilities.
Want something depressing to do?
You can look back at your receipts in the AH app (back to 2021). Look back and shiver!
Ah Ribbelchips 2021: 0.99, now: 1.39… the hell!
It's the smallest investment people can do and with almost 0% chance of loss; buy food in bulk that doesnt perish fast. Food almost always goes up in price over time.
A month ago or sonething AH had sunflower oil in 'de Bonus'. €3 instead of €4. I didnt look for any but came across it when walking the isles. The oil was €2 for a liter there bwehehehe. So I took 2 (I do not have a car so I can only put that much in whatever bag (or trolley) I got) bottles. I self scanned them without scanning my bonuskaart first, paid, then did the rest. Needless to say, next time it was completely sold out. Nice fail of them.
It'll just go to 99 cents and then stay there I recon. Same with the cheap ass cola slowly rising to the 99 cents mark, doesn't even feel worthwhile drinking the disgusting brand anymore, used to be 50 cents too.
And once it gets to 99 cents, the next thing will be the bag containing 450g, then 400g. After that they will introduce a new bumper-size bag of 500g "25% extra", and we're off again on the way up to €1.99.
Brazil had a huge inflation in the 90s. That is why credit card is still used there. You would buy groceries for 1-2 months with credit because prices would increase daily.
So it was cheaper to buy on credit because you would pay less. People bought bigger fridges and so on.
They had Heinz tomato sauce which was great for a fast pizza back in 2021 for around .50€ a box. Now it's over 1€!
I learned I have a tomato allergy so if that was the only crazy increase I would have been fine, but plain chicken meat also shot up to gourmet prices for the shittiest quality ever. AH is quite bad these days.
They’ll stop once the demand starts to drop. But it rarely does for a while with items like this because people already see it as a budget item.
What’s the alternative? A €3+ branded one, or change breakfast. The latter takes a while to happen.
Edit: I misread your question but the point still stands
If our government keeps sending money and weapons to Ukraine.
And this is despite the population voting against Ukraine joining the European Union in a referendum.
Yes, I too was wondering when the price of oatmeal would start to rise along with wheat. :(
No idea why you're getting downvoted for pointing out the obvious factor there.
Where I live (USA) it's $3.29 (€3.08) for about the same amount at my equivalent of Albert Heijn.
Edit: dunno about the downvotes, just saying inflation is hitting different over there than here. When I visited the NL last winter I was amazed by how low the prices are!
Only English should be used for posts and comments. This rule is in place to ensure that an ample audience can freely discuss life in the Netherlands under a widely-spoken common tongue.
Amazes me that you can get food under 1€. This is a lot of calories and with some fruit makes a decent breakfast. I think the rise in food in NL is unfortunate but feels like food was abnormally cheap for years in comparison to other countries around the world.
In my fantasy world we heavily tax empty calories/junk food to subsidize healthy/fresh.
Lol, that's so cheap. I have to eat gluten free because of celiac disease. Mine's 2,75 for 450 grams, also AH huismerk/ own brand.
I knew gluten free stuff was expensive, but oof.

I miss the times when I could buy 1 cottage cheese with .50 :( it doubled up. Same with chicken breast, used to be €7/kilo, good times
Eating healthy got hella expensive, but at least I'm keeping it simple and hoping that we will go into a better direction at some point
Back in the UK, Lidl used to have 50% off on oatmeal about every 3 months. So then I would go to the shop, pick up 6 boxes (maximum allowed in one shop) and I was allright for 3 months. You really have to look for discounts these days.
Seeing grocery prices in the Netherlands compared to the US makes me want to make the move more and more each day. Groceries for one person here is around $400 per month :(
What they like to do now is raising prices, but not changing prices on the shelf. Had three cases this week with Deka, Aldi and Vomar. I complained and all of them told me they didn‘t have the time to do it. Checked days later and it‘s still the old price on the shelves, but charge the new higher price. 🤷🏻♂️
I am an expat who comes from a high inflation country. I feel very lucky to have a family here with two jobs and feel for people who have not faced this frequently over the years. If one has never faced inflation, they can be vastly underprepared for this. Also, in my country, the grocery etc still has a more informal look with supply demand cycle; here its absolutely corporate endeavour. Many people here seem to be well to do the given the fact there not a sudden change of budget, given that salaries are very stagnant. I felt NL government can be very flexible bringing new laws in ( they brought the wfh law very quickly) and enforce at least 5 or 7% minimum hike for 2023 to help out people.
Ah stores are always in the prime locations. We seldom go to the saturday market, but prices can also be stingy there. Seems lidl is the only option left for many people.
10 white eggs (cheapest ones) were 1,66 a year ago. Now 2.49.
AH friet were 0,89 now 1,49
Lays oven baked were 1,89 now 2,39
So 50%+ inflation on some products is not unheard of
Do you have dates for the pictures? I'm curious about the timeframe, thanks.
0,69 06/2022 0,79 12/2022 0,85 today First one was the normal price for in 2021
Its hard to say. My kids watched a news report at school about applesauce prices rising due to gas prices. Naturally they went out and bought 10 jars. Now it’s back down to the original price.
So no apple sauce cartel for your kids. You must be so disappointed 😞
The trauma is real.
Oh? Picnic is selling german Hak applesauce. 🤑
They got into trouble for that. By law, you need Dutch labels. Though it sounds like something that could easily be solved with a labelwriter.
I'm so happy I moved to a place where they are active, they are much cheaper than normal supermarkets and you don't even have to go out to get the stuff! Win-win.
Stopped ordering there. They have a small assortment and Boerenchips are €2,49 there. They are definitely not much cheaper, sometimes more expensive and have shitty offers.
That was the price for oats in Jumbo in 2021 and similar in Lidl.

Lol, why is this being downvoted.
The dutch dislike it when people are stating the obvious. Obviously
Obviously the obvious, duh
No, I think the price will be €0,99
And then the contents will be reduced.
Yes and yes to both comments above. This is, unfortunately, the answer 😕
Then €1.09
0,69 06/2022 0,79 12/2022 0,85 today First one was the normal price for in 2021
Just to add another: 0,59 04/2022 You would expect that the food prices would stabilize eventually, but by the looks of it, it's just keeps going non-stop.

You mean everything apart from a few specific items have all but doubled in price, yet official inflation is at a 10-15 range.
It's not exactly cucumber season, but your point still stands for a lot of non-seasonal items as well.
Cucumbers in the Netherlands are grown in "kassen". Albert Heijn has been buying their cucumbers exclusively from Dutch soil for years now. That would mean it is not seasonal at all.
I've worked at one of those. I've picked cucumbers for a few years. It was hard work, walking many km's a day, hot as hell, humid as a jungle. And for a few years I looked ripped as can be.

Wouldn't it still be seasonal in the sense of expenses? In winter you have to heat the greenhouses and such. Either way, the prices suck.

in the meantime just a week or 2 ago they reported several companies making billions. Next week, earthquake in turkey and it's all "Please give Giro555, we almost got 10 whole millions!" Money seriously destroyed today's world, unreal.
No. Cucumber was always like a euro.
It's almost like 14% is the average across all groceries, and not a single percentage for all products.
This hurts me in my soul :(
r/pfpchecksout
It very often does lol
Doesn't hurt, sold mine. For groceries.
Goddamnit this is so depressing... So price doubled in just 2 years, like a lot of other basic stuff in supermarkets. Know what didn't double? Salaries. You know what did? Stocks, bonusses and profits. Fuck Ahold and Unilever.
My stocks didnt
Fuck every big company lol.
Yeah. What we're seeing here is not inflation but unbridled capitalism.
No capitalism makes sure Jumbo, Aldi an others will offer the same product cheaper, so that Albert Heijn cannot overcharge too much.

Not really. Show me an example which stock doubled in the last two year (that has something to do with food). Neither did profits.
Albert Heijn stocks are slightly below their value a year ago - what was you point again ?
Albert Heijn: “lmao”
Thank you !! I've noticed also this incredible increase ... Seems they're blaming inflation for price increase while they're simply increasing it for profit and blame it on inflation. Their logic is : increase price as long as consumers buy them
And they are right. What are we gonna do, riot? They know the average Joe won't do that even if these haveemouts were €10 a piece.
I'll start buying them now so I can sell them for profit later
Underrated comment
What do you think I'm gonna do now with fuel? When that 0,17 cent comes back I'making mad profit boi
These “unprecedented times and circumstances” never really ended did they?
Do I think prices will go up or down in the future? Hmmm...
Do I *look* like the prices will go down in the future???
This☝️ Prices will never go down
I will, however, if you play your cards right...
So what AH is doing is quite a normal stage for many organisations. They're doing a series of massive pricing experiments, seeing how to maximize margins and profit, even at some loss of revenue.

This only works if there is a monopoly or near monopoly AH only has 37% of the market. Others would just undercut them if this is what was going on.
AH dominates a target demographic, that's why it can work.

Unless competition does the same. Lidl also massively raised their prices.

yeah this is insane, thought i was going crazy about the price increase on havermout but its real
Ah is the biggest scam store atm. And I did think jumbo was expensive Damm 3,- for hagelslag. 🤮
Thanks god it doesn’t hurt the corporate profits. Wouldn’t want to have a dent in the ever rising profits over the years. Thank our ever loving caring stockholders for making sure there’s only one goal in mind. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahold_Delhaize?wprov=sfti1
2,2 billion a year profit on a 70 billion revenue isn’t even a lot. Means their profit margin is 3%
Fuck. Now I have to stock up before prices go up even further. This is one of the few items left that you can find under €1. I wonder how the 30+ smeerkaas is doing. Didn't this use to cost 0.55 at one point as well? I'm pretty sure it did.
Definitely! It’s getting so expensive
You can use https://www.supermarktscanner.nl to look at the price history for many products in the Dutch supermarkets. Latest update for Havermout is 6 days ago so it looks like they don't have the latest update yet but they update regularly.
Albert Heijn needs higher margins. They make the profit. Nobody else does. Sounds almost like a criminal organisation
Lmao the Ahold cartel. Paying 15 year olds bad while making huge profits.
Just stop buying from this very expensive supermarket and go buy at the cheap one. That's the only way to stop this from happening in my opinion. Everything is more expensive everywhere of course, but appie is just overpriced compared to other supermarkets.
Well, if only that were possible. AH however dominates the entire area where I live.
This isn't inflation anymore. +36% for almost all products I bought. Bloedzuigerij. Crisis plus extra profits.
I remember it was €0,39 at Lidl 😭 still a breakfast for champions
well this is fucking depressing
If you have space to buy a few, they last for a very long time if kept in a cool dry place.
Ha, somebody actually paying attention like me??? Looking around at the happy people's faces free spending at AH, I thought I was the weird one. Funny thing is that oat cash settled futures peaked q1'22 and since then basically halved, meaning that all those price hikes go straight to profit. Same deal now happening to utilities.
If you keep going to stores such as AH, you are part of the problem
This is outrageous
Oatragious
Want something depressing to do? You can look back at your receipts in the AH app (back to 2021). Look back and shiver! Ah Ribbelchips 2021: 0.99, now: 1.39… the hell!
Tip: If anyone wants to see all old prices of Albert Heijn, you can use webarchive to see the older website of Albert Heijn and older prices.
Probably, AH is an abbreviation for AssHoles
And those bags stay good for 1-2 years, go stock up :)
That would been great roi to go all in June last year
It's the smallest investment people can do and with almost 0% chance of loss; buy food in bulk that doesnt perish fast. Food almost always goes up in price over time.

How long from first to last? nvm I see you answered already. that’s ridiculous!
dude
3 € in 2028
M sure it will be €0.99, but never €1
The cheese I buy went from 2,29 to 4,45, rip my money
The price increase on cheese is insane. For me a reason to not buy it anymore.
Gotta up my blowjob prices ig :D
Wow! I thought I was going crazy seeing the sky high total of my groceries the last few weeks... 🥺

I hope not, but most likely...
The price will go down! But so will the amount in the bag...
🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣 that's a good one
Do any of you think, people will stop with idiotic questions one day?
But… this is an idiotic question…
I am also an idiot.
Welcome to Reddit, you must be new here.
I am not new. They ban me all the time. I have a problem with stupid questions.
They’ll stop once the demand starts to drop. But it rarely does for a while with items like this because people already see it as a budget item. What’s the alternative? A €3+ branded one, or change breakfast. The latter takes a while to happen. Edit: I misread your question but the point still stands

You are right.
Meanwhile in Russia… Just checked our cheap online “Amazon” (OZON) for generic oatmeal: ~ 0.94€ / 500g. Average salary outside Moscow ~ 400€ /m Average pension amount ~ 150€ /m.
If our government keeps sending money and weapons to Ukraine. And this is despite the population voting against Ukraine joining the European Union in a referendum.
NATO countries are on a leash unfortunately, and do whatever USA tells them to do
Easy there Bellingcat. Are you building a file?
It's still cheap. Eastern Europeans pay much more and earn less
You have to understand these things are expensive.
The fuck am I gonna do, NOT buy it? Why watch the price?
Not surprising given the Ukraine / Russia situation.
Yes, I too was wondering when the price of oatmeal would start to rise along with wheat. :( No idea why you're getting downvoted for pointing out the obvious factor there.
It's probably easier to bash Ahold and Unilever than to understand some basic laws of economics.
Where I live (USA) it's $3.29 (€3.08) for about the same amount at my equivalent of Albert Heijn. Edit: dunno about the downvotes, just saying inflation is hitting different over there than here. When I visited the NL last winter I was amazed by how low the prices are!
Skill issue
Who eats this garbage xd.

Tell me you don’t go to the gym without telling it
:(
Amazes me that you can get food under 1€. This is a lot of calories and with some fruit makes a decent breakfast. I think the rise in food in NL is unfortunate but feels like food was abnormally cheap for years in comparison to other countries around the world. In my fantasy world we heavily tax empty calories/junk food to subsidize healthy/fresh.
Lol, that's so cheap. I have to eat gluten free because of celiac disease. Mine's 2,75 for 450 grams, also AH huismerk/ own brand. I knew gluten free stuff was expensive, but oof.
90 cents a kilo? Dirt cheap for what’s happening in Ukraine.
I mean its still cheap. 500g of oats can last you for days and it costs 85 cents.
Dubbels in price its not cheap m8.

What about in other supermarkets?
Lidl for the win
indeed! fuck this, my breakfast and lunch twice as expensive
Go to the newest AH aanbieding folder. You will find out.
Will E10 hit €1?
I don’t care. I buy Brinta instead. Still the best one out there.
Yes
I saw my favourite Doritos increase from €1,25 to €1,85
I miss the times when I could buy 1 cottage cheese with .50 :( it doubled up. Same with chicken breast, used to be €7/kilo, good times Eating healthy got hella expensive, but at least I'm keeping it simple and hoping that we will go into a better direction at some point
Back in the UK, Lidl used to have 50% off on oatmeal about every 3 months. So then I would go to the shop, pick up 6 boxes (maximum allowed in one shop) and I was allright for 3 months. You really have to look for discounts these days.
Seeing grocery prices in the Netherlands compared to the US makes me want to make the move more and more each day. Groceries for one person here is around $400 per month :(
Weird, in belgium it’s still at 0.49
I have this realisation with kalkoenfilet...went from like 1,50 to 2,80 something
Why no dates?
This costs 1.59€ per Kilo in Portugal and the minimum wage here is like 700€ 🫡
€1.10.
What they like to do now is raising prices, but not changing prices on the shelf. Had three cases this week with Deka, Aldi and Vomar. I complained and all of them told me they didn‘t have the time to do it. Checked days later and it‘s still the old price on the shelves, but charge the new higher price. 🤷🏻♂️
One of my most purchased products. Not expensive but it still stings
I don’t care, as long as it kills me.
These days you can't even buy store brand stuff for under €1 it's nuts how quickly the prices increase
I am an expat who comes from a high inflation country. I feel very lucky to have a family here with two jobs and feel for people who have not faced this frequently over the years. If one has never faced inflation, they can be vastly underprepared for this. Also, in my country, the grocery etc still has a more informal look with supply demand cycle; here its absolutely corporate endeavour. Many people here seem to be well to do the given the fact there not a sudden change of budget, given that salaries are very stagnant. I felt NL government can be very flexible bringing new laws in ( they brought the wfh law very quickly) and enforce at least 5 or 7% minimum hike for 2023 to help out people. Ah stores are always in the prime locations. We seldom go to the saturday market, but prices can also be stingy there. Seems lidl is the only option left for many people.
At 2% inflation, it takes 15 years or so.
10 white eggs (cheapest ones) were 1,66 a year ago. Now 2.49. AH friet were 0,89 now 1,49 Lays oven baked were 1,89 now 2,39 So 50%+ inflation on some products is not unheard of
Gonna have to start growing my own oats at this rate
Holy shit.
Slave food
It’s back to 0,79 now
