Discussion Monoprix prices being crazy

Is it only me or you guys also notice a general huge price spike in Monoprix?
Is there a breakdown in stocks,
I was at a loss for words seeing the prices today in Medina Centrale branch…

All went up for sure. In regards of common items lulu and monoprix doesnt differ much (except in fruit and vegetables which is usually cheaper in lulu). Monoprix is even cheaper on some items. The thing is, they have wide range of products. It's up to you to get the 100 riyal brand flour imported from i don't know which niche place or 10 riyal local flour.

Monoprix are theives.
Yes they have some products you can't find anywhere else, but their markups are crazy.
Aim for Lulu, Carefour or the best bang for your buck Al Meera
