No product seems to be able to escape inflation. For several months now, prices have been increasing in all areas throughout France. War in Ukraine, drought or speculation, the factors behind this inflation are multiple. Stock shortages or even shortages have become a reality and some everyday products have disappeared from the shelves.

Indeed, the prices of these products have recently increased sharply and a famous French supermarket chain has decided to remove them from their shelves, in order to protect the purchasing power of their customer.
