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 four retailers shall be surveyed each round
An average of 30 -70 items available across all retailers being surveyed shall be canvassed

The winner of this week’s price survey is Massway Supermarket – a retailer based in Manila. Out of the 4 retailers surveyed and with 62 number of SKUs, Massway Supermarket excelled in price. It is followed by Retailer 2 which is 1.66% more expensive, retailer 3 at 3.26% and Retailer 4 at 5.93%.
It is promising to note that smaller retailers like Massway Supermarket continues to compete with national players in pricing policy.
