The average price of an Easter basket in Ukraine in 2025 is UAH 1124.77, which is 17% higher than in 2024, due to increased demand for a number of products and inflationary processes, according to a study by sodes.com.ua.
The researchers decided to compare the cost of a standard Easter basket containing 10 eggs, 1 kg of hard cheese, 1 kg of sausage, 1 white loaf, 1 pack of horseradish, and a set of three candles in the most popular supermarket chains in Ukraine.
An ATB customer will have to pay UAH 950.19 for this set, METRO – UAH 1083.93, Auchan – UAH 1114.40, Silpo – UAH 1124.67, and Novus – UAH 1189.73.
The analysts also calculated the average cost of making a homemade Easter cake, which consists of 700 g of flour, six chicken eggs, 180 g of butter, 300 g of milk, 400 g of sugar, raisins, and 40 g of yeast. The estimated price of the pastry is 202 UAH.
It is noted that the number of people who make Easter cakes at home and those who buy them in cafes or shops is almost equal – 31% and 33%, respectively.
To save money on Easter shopping, researchers advise taking advantage of supermarket discounts – prices drop by 5-20% before the holiday, looking for promotional codes and promotions, and using store loyalty cards: ATB can save up to 40%, and METRO has a wholesale discount system.
