A local inspection: social markets are increasingly coming under pressure

Date:

Rising food prices, expensive hygiene products, skyrocketing housing and heating costs: more and more Styrians can no longer afford everyday life and depend on cheaper purchases on the social markets. The Vinzi markets in Graz have 30 percent more customers. A local inspection.

When Sigrid Wimmer opens the door of the Vinzimarkt on Karl-Morre-Strasse in Graz in the morning, the first stampede has just passed. Many people come early because that is when the range of food and hygiene products is greatest. “But we ensure that there are always sufficient goods available,” says the head of social services. Fruit, vegetables, sausage, rice, pasta, detergent and disposable razor blades are 70 percent cheaper here than in the supermarkets, the quality is very good, there are often only minor defects such as packaging errors or an expiry date that is near or exceeded.
