At Silpo supermarkets, the discounts apply to several products:

• Herbal Tea – 54.99 UAH (a 52% discount from 114 UAH)

The Varus chain is also running significant promotions:

• Peanut Halva – 34.90 UAH (a 50% discount from 69.90 UAH)

These discounts come against a broader economic backdrop of rising food costs in Ukraine. Notably, the price of buckwheat has increased by 45% year-on-year, with forecasts predicting a further 8-10% rise by the end of 2026. This indicates that while promotions are available on select items, the market continues to face pricing challenges for certain staple goods.

“In an environment of economic instability and inflationary pressures, significant supermarket discounts can be a crucial factor for consumers trying to reduce their grocery expenses.”
