Residents of the South Urals offer to boycott retail chains due to rising food prices

Residents of Magnitogorsk have been discussing on social media for several days the idea of ​​boycotting large retail chains due to a sharp increase in food prices and instead shopping in small shops.

“People, let's do something together with prices, only we can fight these “Magnets”, “Pyaterochkas”, “Sytno”! - VK user Daniyar Rakhmanov wrote in the Black & White Magnitogorsk community. - Since today, the prices for bakery products have skyrocketed, but not by 50 kopecks, but by 7-10 rubles at once. In the future, there will be a rise in the price of eggs and chicken, and yet we have not even been given an indexed salary for January by 2 (ridiculously even) percent. Dear residents of Magnitogorsk, we just need to boycott these Magnets and Pyaterochkas for at least one day. Go to regular shops. it is better to support a small shop than to enrich the oligarchs! Prices will continue to rise as long as we keep silent and do nothing!”

During the day, the post received more than 230 comments and 46,000 views. At the same time, the opinions of the participants in the discussion were divided. Some said that in small shops prices are even higher than in chains, there is less choice, others - that there are a lot of delays. Boycott supporters, on the contrary, assure that favorable prices in networks are only for goods on sale. And small shops set an adequate pricing policy, and everything is fresh there, because it does not have time to stale.

Products continue to rise in price. How ordinary Chelyabinsk residents survive and what they save on.

“What are conventional stores? Here are the personal businessmen? There, prices are usually even higher than in the network “Magnit” and “Pyaterochka”,” wrote Natalie Sok.

“And what, what is IP? Oksana Ivanova objected to her. - By the way, I buy from us, on Leningradskaya, from IP. Everything is always fresh, because it buys in small batches - that MILK , that bread, that sausage, but everything. And you don’t have time to disappear, you even come in in the evening - there is nothing left. And in the nets, the horror, as long as it lies, goes out.

“But the majority regularly boil it in the network. In small shops, non-compliance with deadlines and norms is much more common. And everything is clear in terms of weight, they don’t weigh it down, as in IP stores, ”the opponent did not agree with her.

' Store store difference. On Sovetskaya, 184, a wonderful store "Yuzhny" - everything is always fresh. Next to "Magnet" and "Five" - ​​always a week old milk. Even if they bring fresh, they will sell the old,” said Natalia Kinzina.

“Interestingly, what about the shops here? Inflation is what the government does,” Vladimir Drel said.
