Striezel per kilo: small and dear, big and cheap
The 600 g own-brand Striezel costs €3.82 per kilo at Billa, the small 400 g Striezel in the same store €11.23, so 66% less.
At Billa that gets you 50% more Striezel for half the price. At Spar the gap is even bigger, because the small bakery Striezel is only 200 g.
| Instead of | Pick | Per kilo |
|---|---|---|
| Billa: Striezel 400 g, €4.49 (€11.23/kg) | Clever Striezel 600 g, €2.29 | €3.82/kg (−66%) |
| Spar: Interspar Backstube Bäckerstriezel 200 g, €3.49 (€17.45/kg) | S-Budget Striezel 600 g, €2.19 | €3.65/kg (−79%) |
The price per kilo says nothing about taste. In Gault&Millau's supermarket Striezel test (March 2025, German), the jury found the quality mostly only just above basic. How to read the price per kilo on the shelf label is in Compare unit prices.
Grave candles: look at the burn time
A grave candle costs between €0.67 and €1.00 per day of burning, depending on how long it lasts.
- Hofer-Kerzen grave candle 6 days, Spar: €3.99, so €0.67 per day
- Ambrosius grave candle 5 days, Spar: €4.49, so €0.90 per day
- Ambrosius grave candle 5 days, Billa: €4.79, so €0.96 per day
- Simpex Basic grave candle 3 days, Spar: €2.99, so €1.00 per day
So the cheapest candle on the shelf is not the cheapest per day. Watch the label: "Hofer" here is a candle maker, not the supermarket chain, and the candle is sold at Spar.
