Price and quality
Price data is sourced from Supermarktscanner.nl and is based on online prices at the webshops of Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Plus, DekaMarkt, Dirk, and Hoogvliet. Prices reflect an average, including promotional offers. This price comparison does not account for origin or quality, as most supermarkets do not disclose this information online. However, Hoogvliet and Jumbo do mention the country of origin. It is possible that the price comparison above includes unripe avocados versus ripe ones or Spanish cucumbers versus Dutch cucumbers.
Notes on the data
Vomar uses fixed online prices. Avocados have been absent from Vomar's online assortment since week 24 of 2022, as have Galia melons. At Hoogvliet and Vomar, oranges are sold in 1.5 kg nets, and prices are adjusted to a 2 kg equivalent for comparison. Jumbo only sells packaged vine tomatoes in packs of five rather than by 500g or kilogram; for comparison purposes, an average weight of 100g per tomato is used.
