Since 2020, costs have increased by 32 percent. This can be compared to the general price development (CPI) of 25 percent.

The Chamber of Commerce has compiled a "mid-range index" with the most common goods purchased for the shipment. This includes, among other things, chocolate, which has had the largest price increase of 54 percent. Next come chips with 40 percent and soda with 36 percent.

In addition to the goods that top the price increase, nuts and alcoholic beverages are also included. For a family of four, the increase is 88 kronor over five years, and thus the typical "mid-range basket" lands at 365 kronor, according to the analysis.
