Three years ago I launched a fun project - Actual Price Index at Tbilisi market, just to document price movements for veggies and fruits in the market, depending on the season. In total I have made two kinds of research for 2015 and 2016, see: Actual Price Index in Tbilisi Market (Georgia) - At Start of October 2015 and Actual Price Index at Tbilisi Market - March 2016
Now, today, three years later I once again decided to measure, how prices have changed in the past three years.
Here is my basket of goods I bought in Tbilisi market on October 1, 2018
Veggies from Tbilisi market
| 2018 | 2015 | |
| 1 kg potatoes | 1 | 0.7 |
| 1 bunch of spring onions | 1 | 0.6 |
| 1 bunch of parsley | 1 | 1 |
| 1 bunch of dills | 1 | 1 |
| 1 bunch of radishes | 2 | 1* |
| 1 kg red pepper | 2.5 | 5* |
| 1 kg onions | 2 | 1.3 |
| 1 kg washed carrots | 2 | 2 |
| 1 watermelon (~6kg) | 2,2 | 5 |
| Churchkhela | 1.5-2 | - |
| Walnuts 1kg | 22 | - |
*Prices are from 2016
As you can see there has been some inflation over the years, but also there is some deflation for products like red pepper and watermelon.
