On the shelf today · August 15, 2026
In Graz, Billa beats Spar for our weekly shop with a beer crate this week: €34.57 instead of €36.63. Which crate costs least where, and what only applies in Graz.
A Striezel, a butter plait and two grave candles cost €0.90 less at Spar than at Billa. The large own-brand Striezel costs up to 79% less per kilo than the small one.
