Everyday items are turning into luxury goods: Ukrainians are finding it increasingly difficult to afford milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt.

In the context of constant price increases, it becomes essential to know where to buy milk, cheese, butter, and other products at better prices. The portal 0352.ua conducted a price review of dairy products in several popular supermarkets, including "Silpo" and "ATB," as well as at local markets, to help Ukrainians choose the most advantageous options.

Milk remains one of the most sought-after products in households. However, its price can vary significantly depending on the place of sale. In the "Silpo" supermarket, a liter of milk averages between 36-38 hryvnias. In "ATB," milk can be found for 31 hryvnias, which is considerably cheaper. Meanwhile, local farmers offer homemade milk at the markets, and although its price is around 45 hryvnias per liter, the naturalness and freshness of the product attract regular customers. Thus, "ATB" emerges as the more cost-effective option, but the market favors quality.

Prices for cottage cheese also vary based on the purchase location. In "Silpo," 500 g of sour milk cheese with 5% fat costs about 120 hryvnias. In "ATB," a similar product will cost 100 hryvnias for the same weight. Local producers at the market sell cheese at around 140 hryvnias per kilogram, attracting regular customers with their quality and naturalness. Therefore, "ATB" wins again on price, while the market excels in quality and freshness.

Yogurts in supermarkets have a wide price range. In "Silpo," yogurts from popular brands like "Galichina" are sold for 20-30 hryvnias for 150 grams. In "ATB," yogurt options start from 15 hryvnias. At the market, local producers offer yogurts at an average price of 25 hryvnias per package, attracting buyers with the absence of preservatives and a more natural composition. Thus, the lowest prices are again found in "ATB," but the market provides more natural quality.
