- customer outraged on Facebook about prices at Kaufland
- In his opinion, curry ketchup is far too expensive
- Kaufland reacted to the post
In the past few months, the prices of many groceries have risen in supermarkets and shops. The Federal Statistical Office recently published a list of 20 foods that have become much more expensive in 2022, including flour, sugar and pasta. But another product has apparently become more expensive and is now causing trouble: curry ketchup.
Too high a price? Kaufland customer outraged by expensive curry ketchup
“I got 1.79 for my last bottle [Euro, Anmerkung der Redaktion] paid,” writes the man on Facebook. In his post you can see a photo of a pallet full of “spice ketchup curry” from the well-known brand “Hela” – and with a price of 3.39 euros per 800 gram pack. ” Wann is ma end of the road‘ the customer complains.
However, the popular ketchup is also available on the manufacturer’s website for 3.39 euros. Kaufland does not charge an above-average amount of money for the goods. So how did the price jump come about? Presumably through an action: dealers offer the ketchup at irregular intervals at a bargain price – which in the past was often around 1.79 euros. The actual price of the curry ketchup has not doubled within a short time, as the angry Kaufland customer suspects.
Under the Facebook post, however, many people criticize the high costs: “Honestly, I no longer buy the overpriced food, then the manufacturer should sit on it, because he probably just wants to make a profit,” says one user. “If it’s too expensive for you, just don’t buy it anymore,” agrees another user. Another has a creative solution to the problem: just “make the ketchup yourself”.

The customer should contact Kaufland via direct message – so the request can be forwarded to customer management will.
