We’ve seen the world grapple with inflation, and we’ve also felt it strongly as prices of basic and essential goods have increased at unprecedented levels.
With this, Euroasia aims to help consumers make easier yet smarter decisions with their purchases by conducting a Price Survey showing the cheapest supermarket retailer. The said Price survey will thus be guided by the following principles:
The Price Survey shall be conducted on a weekly basis
An average of three retailers shall be surveyed each round
The survey shall be conducted and finished within one week
An average of 20 -50 items available across all retailers being surveyed shall be canvassed
