--- Quote ---Online product price comparison tool

The electronic platform of the Ministry of Development e-katanalotis (e-katanalotis.gov.gr) is finally turning into a useful tool for the consumer, as it now includes the prices of 3,000 product codes from 11 supermarket chains. Crucially, they are now updated on a daily basis.

Through the map available on the platform, consumers can also check all the supermarkets located near their residence, thereby saving time and money.

The prices of the products come from the following chains: Sklavenitis, AB Vassilopoulos, MyMarket, Masoutis, Kritikos, Galaxias, Bazaar, SYNKA, Market In, Halkiadakis and from online supermarket efresh.gr. Lidl does not participate, as it does not have an online store.
