Supermarket chain Hazi Hinam is offering a limited-time promotion on basic consumer goods, including meat, chicken, and fish, with prices starting at 19.90 shekels. The sale, which ends on October 18, aims to provide customers with lower costs amidst a general rise in food prices across Israeli retail chains. For example, fresh chicken livers are priced at 19.90 shekels per kilogram, while 2kg of fresh chicken wings cost 15 shekels, and 2kg of fresh chicken legs are 60 shekels. Beef cuts like fresh entrecote are available for 149 shekels per kilogram, and 2kg of ground lamb or veal osso buco are priced at 100 shekels. This initiative comes as data indicates significant price increases in food baskets at various supermarket chains over the past few years. A study by TheMarker, based on data from Tel Aviv University, shows price increases ranging from 11% to 17% in some chains. Specifically, discount stores of the 'Victory' chain saw prices rise by 8% between June 2024 and June 2025, while 'Rami Levy Chain Stores' experienced a 6% increase and 'Shufersal Deal' saw a 5% rise. Concurrently, data from fintech company Hyp reveals that Israelis made more transactions in the lead-up to the Rosh Hashanah holiday but spent less overall. The number of transactions increased by 2.3% compared to the previous year, but the total purchase volume decreased by 6%, and the average transaction amount dropped by 8% from 199 shekels to 183 shekels.
