These two Spanish supermarkets have pushed prices above inflation
If your weekly supermarket bill seems to be creeping up faster than everything else, you might naturally blame inflation. But […]
Between April 2025 and May 2026, two Spanish supermarket chains, BM Urban and Ahorramás, experienced price increases that exceeded the overall inflation rate. During this period, the general Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Spain rose by 3.2%. BM Urban's prices went up by 5.1%, surpassing inflation by 1.9 percentage points, while Ahorramás saw a 4.4% increase, which was 1.2 percentage points above inflation.
OCU, the Organisation of Consumers and Users, identified these two chains as the only major supermarket chains in Spain where prices increased faster than the national inflation rate during the comparison period. The findings highlight that the national inflation rate does not always reflect the reality of supermarket prices, as individual chains can see their prices rise at different rates.
