How much does a grocery basket cost in Ukrainian supermarkets: price comparison at ATB, Silpo, Auchan, and NOVUS as of November 15, 2026

The cost of basic food items in Ukrainian supermarkets continues to depend on the retail chain, selected brand, and current promotional offers. The Styler project (RБК-Україна) conducted an up-to-date price comparison for five everyday goods — bread, milk, eggs, buckwheat groats, and sunflower oil — across four major retail chains: ATB, Silpo, Auchan, and NOVUS. The check was carried out on November 15, 2026, based on the online catalogs of ATB and Silpo, as well as the Zakaz.ua platform, which features the product ranges of NOVUS and Auchan. The total cost of the compiled set of five items ranges from 225.62 to 275.58 UAH, with a spread of 49.96 UAH between the minimum and maximum amounts.

Milk: a discount at Silpo makes it the most affordable option

For comparison in the milk category, Styler selected products with a fat content of 2.5–2.6% in 900g packaging. At ATB, the pasteurized milk "Shchodennyi Zbir" (2.5%) costs 44.50 UAH. At Silpo, the ultra-pasteurized milk "Halychyna" "Z chystykh Karpat" (2.5%) is priced at 39.99 UAH — featuring a 37% discount, while the regular price is 63.49 UAH. At Auchan, the pasteurized milk "Lukavytsia" (2.6%) is estimated at 41.50 UAH. Thus, excluding the promotion, the most affordable product in the category is from Silpo, and without discounts, the gap between chains would be significantly wider.

Eggs and sunflower oil: where a dozen and half a liter are cheaper

In the egg category, Styler compared first-category C1 products in 10-piece packages. The selection included the ATB product — "Svoya Liniia" eggs at 58.40 UAH per dozen. Regarding sunflower oil, refined oil in 500ml bottles was chosen for the review. Here, the price spread is most noticeable: at Auchan, Auchan oil costs 49.40 UAH; at ATB, "Svoya Liniia" is 53.13 UAH; at Silpo, "Premiya" is 56.99 UAH; and at NOVUS, "Shchedryi Dar" (refined deodorized) is 64.62 UAH. The difference between the cheapest and most expensive offers in this category exceeds 15 UAH per single bottle.

Buckwheat and bread: how recipe affects the final price tag

In the buckwheat category, quick-cooking groats with a mass of 1 kg were compared. At Silpo, "Premiya" buckwheat is sold for 54.99 UAH with a 15% discount (regular price — 64.99 UAH), whereas at Auchan, the equivalent Auchan product costs 85.90 UAH. The 30.91 UAH difference makes buckwheat one of the most diverse items in the basket. In the bread category, Styler compared packaged items weighing between 350 and 380 g: at Silpo, the capital city bread "Tsar-khlib" "Prezydentskyi" (350 g) costs 18.01 UAH; at Auchan, the baton "Kyivkhlib" "Zolotystyi" (380 g) is 25.80 UAH; at NOVUS, sliced bread "Tsar Khlib" "Palanga" (350 g) is 28.49 UAH; and at ATB, toast bread with bran "Kulynychi" "Herkules" (350 g) is 33.60 UAH. The editorial team emphasizes that although the package weights are roughly equal, the products differ in composition and recipe, meaning the comparison reflects the cost of specific goods rather than price differences for fully identical products.

Total basket: 225.62–275.58 UAH for five items

To determine total expenditures, Styler calculated the cost of a single set for each retail chain. It included: 900g milk, a dozen eggs, 500ml sunflower oil, 1 kg buckwheat, and 350–380g bread. The cost of the compiled grocery set ranges from 225.62 to 275.58 UAH. The difference between the minimum and maximum amounts is 49.96 UAH. The final cost is influenced by the prices of specific brands and promotional offers active at the time of the check. The cited amounts apply only to the selected goods and do not characterize the general price level across retail chains. Product prices may vary depending on the city, specific store, product availability, and the duration of discounts.

Methodology and comparison limitations

The review utilized data from the online catalogs of ATB and Silpo, as well as the Zakaz.ua platform, which features the assortments of NOVUS and Auchan. Goods across different chains may differ in manufacturer, composition, production method, and other characteristics. Certain items were sold at promotional prices at the time of the check, which was factored into the calculation of the final cost. Prices were verified on November 15, 2026. Previously, Styler has published similar comparisons — specifically on November 12, 2026, and June 10, 2026 — allowing for the tracking of price dynamics for basic products throughout the year.
