Practically all major retailers making up the vast majority of Malta’s supermarkets have signed up to a “historic” agreement that will see the price of basic foodstuffs decrease by 15 per cent from 1st February.
The deal covers over 400 products across 15 categories including various meat, tuna, frozen vegetables, UHT milk, tea and coffee, and more, with frozen French fries the item whose “staple” status is perhaps most debatable.
Participating retailers will have signs showing the price differences on these items, which will remain level until the announcement of the next Government Budget in late October. Therefore the 15 per cent reduced prices will remain in effect, and their prices will remain the same, until late October.
These are the retailers taking part, as at the date of launch:
- Arkadia (Mizzi Organisation)
- Daves
- Greens
- Lidl
- Lighthouse Food Store
- Maypole
- Mġarr Farms
- Miracle Foods
- PG Group
- Savemart
- Scotts
- SPAR (Malta Retailer)
- Smart
- Convenience Shop
- Ta’ Dirjanu
- Welbees
- Wolt Market
