Why Prices Vary So Much Across Stores
- Store location - stores outside Berlin (Hamburg, Duesseldorf, Munich) often compete on price to attract nationwide online orders
- Import relationships - stores importing directly from UK or South Asia can undercut resellers on branded staples
- Pack-size differences - a EUR 0.85 cumin pack (25g) vs EUR 1.79 (100g) are not directly comparable; always check the weight
- Promotions - short-term discounts create temporary windows of savings on specific items
- Seasonal demand - festival periods (Diwali, Eid, Onam) push prices higher on specific products
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are prices updated?
Prices are fetched regularly from each store's live listings. Most stores in the network were last updated in August 2026. The monthly report refreshes at the start of each month.
Why did rice and spice prices fall so much between July and August?
The drop reflects Germany-wide stores being added in August, not price cuts at existing stores. Online stores like Dookan, spice_village, and Namma Markt stock smaller pack sizes at lower entry prices than Berlin walk-in stores.
The spice price drops look huge - is that real?
Partly. More stores means more options at lower price points. But some of the drop is also pack-size difference - Aahaar's June cumin price (EUR 1.79) was for a medium pack, while Dookan's EUR 0.85 is for a smaller pack. Compare same brand and weight for the exact saving.
Can I compare a full basket, not just one product?
Yes - use the basket comparison tool to add all your items and see the total cost across all 25+ stores side by side. This is the most reliable way to find the best deal for your actual weekly shop.
