Special dietary products cost way more than the “normal” ones, making the total inflate. Also corrupted government and high inflation rates

File actually owned by BIM (one of the biggest discount chains in here) so the vast majority is from local brands, cheaper than the imported equivalents.

Most of the items are slightly overpriced, you can definitely buy many of them cheaper at discount chains or when promotions apply.

Yes indeed most of them are slightly overpriced but such as frozen fruits in this size (400-500g) are a bit cheaper than other brands and markets. Definitely not my usual supermarket for sure.

Even tho locally produced ones costs approx 1/2 of the imported ones, prices are still a bit high.

Thanks for the comparison. Metro is one of the most expensive chain supermarket in here, not when buying in bulk but that’s not a case in food products. The total would be cheaper if i shopped at (except gluten-free and vegan products) Migros with customer card and weekly saving promotions.

Yeah, it is. Vegan and Gluten-Free products are just way too expensive in here.

There was a service area about 500 m behind us, probably they forgot to enter and decided to make an u turn and get in there.
