    PRICES WENT UP

    A1+
    [07:16 pm] 03 March, 2009

    Customers at the "Yerevan City" supermarket witnessed inflation on
    the spot today.

    One of the customers paid 600 drams for vegetable oil instead of the
    previous 400 drams. Another customer was caught by surprise when she
    had to pay 430 drams for eggs instead of 300 drams.

    We and the customers witnessed how store clerks were ripping the old
    prices and sticking the new ones on products. We asked them what the
    previous price of the product because the there was no old tag left
    in the market.

    In a matter of seconds the price of one kilogram of butter went from
    being 1,900 dram to 2,150 drams, while the price of butter at the
    stores in Aresh went up by 400 drams.

    A kilogram of sugar went up from 220 drams to 250 drams. As for
    chicken, only the prices of imported chicken have gone up, while
    local chicken prices remain unchanged.

    Bread and alcohol prices remain the same, but store clerks say that
    they will go up as well.

    There were actually many people at the supermarket today. Store clerks
    say that people are in panic because prices are expected to rise even
    more soon.
