In recent times, food prices have increased significantly and some things have set off a lot in price. Some things that have increased avalanche in price in the past year are coffee, chocolate and butter.
In February this year, prices for coffee, tea and cocoa increased by 8.8 percent according to Statistics Sweden’s latest consumer price index.
Sweets and snacks have also increased sharply in price and over a year the price of chocolate increased by 25 percent.
With the high chocolate prices, some stores have now made a decision to remove the popular product from the loose weight candy.
The reason is that it is cheaper to buy chocolate in loose weight than to buy the chocolate. The stores have also seen an increased theft desire for chocolate, which is now counted as a “high -risk product”, which also Gothenburg Post reported on.
According to a store manager for a grocery store in the Gothenburg area, the thefts have almost doubled lately.
– It feels like the thefts are organized so there is probably someone trying to make money from this, he says to P4 Gothenburg.
