Survey: Large Price Gaps Between Israeli Supermarket Chains

In depth

A new survey by the Institute for Retail Research, conducted through the Prices website, checked 272 products at seven supermarket chains. According to Maariv, the survey found gaps of hundreds of shekels between the chains' baskets.

According to Walla, promotions save at most 318 shekels on a basket of 4,000 to 4,600 shekels. Almost half of the promotions at one chain are more expensive than the regular price at a competing chain.

According to Ice, Rami Levy wins the promotions basket, while Osher Ad is found to be the most worthwhile chain for regular shopping. According to Walla, for basic products such as instant coffee there is no competition at all.
