Everything you need to know about how our prices are changing in the face of rising costs
A few months ago, we told you that we have had to adjust our prices gradually over the last few months. Between December 2021 and November 2022, our products rose by an average of 4%.
In line with general inflation in food and non-food products, as well as rising energy costs, the prices of Kazidomi products will unfortunately continue to rise in the coming months.
With the aim of always being as transparent as possible, we're sharing with you how we're dealing with changing market prices. We'll explain everything!
Why the new price increases?
There are several reasons:
The cost of energy has tripled on average, sometimes more depending on the country, with major repercussions on transport and production costs;
The price of packaging materials such as glass, aluminium, plastic, cardboard and wood has risen by more than 50% on average;
To a lesser extent, the cost of raw materials is also rising: wheat, mainly because of the situation in Ukraine, but also oats, rice and pulses.
To cope with these changes, our suppliers have no choice but to adjust the prices at which we buy their products. Adjustments on our part are therefore also inevitable if we are to continue to offer you quality products and guarantee fair remuneration for our partners, our producers and our team, without compromising the sustainability of our business.
When will prices rise?
We expect the majority of these price changes to take place from the beginning of January 2023, and to extend into March for certain products.
Why January? Because that's when many suppliers update their prices; that's also when we'll be adjusting prices for the Kazidomi brand and bulk products.
How much will prices rise on Kazidomi?
It is impossible for us to give a precise figure as we are still awaiting information from many of our suppliers. All we do know is that it will vary greatly from one category to another. The most energy-intensive products, those whose raw materials are heavily impacted for geopolitical reasons, or those that require a lot of paper for their production will increase significantly more than others. Among the products likely to see the biggest increases are wheat pasta, flour and rice.
Just as we will pass on price increases, we will also always respect any reductions. Yes, some products will probably see their prices fall in 2023 for various reasons, such as almonds, Brazil nuts, chia seeds and our pumpkin seeds from Austria.
What is Kazidomi doing about these increases?
In addition to our regular promotions, here's an overview of our most recent actions:
Our shock initiative for your purchasing power is Essential Friday: a brand new concept this year! From Friday 25/11 to Monday 28/11 at 23:59, over 700 essential products are discounted by up to 55% for our members. Quite simply, this is the biggest promotion of the year, and one not to be missed before the price rises start in early 2023.
Launched in April, the Krazy Prices are a selection of products on which our prices are particularly competitive. We will continue to update this list so that you can easily spot the best value products in our range.
Several new Kazidomi ranges will be joining our shelves very soon, so we can continue to offer you the best value for money!
And of course, the Kazidomi subscription, at the heart of our model, remains more relevant than ever to honour our mission of making healthy and sustainable products more accessible. Thanks to it, we can offer discounts of over 20% on average and up to -50% on our products compared with recommended retail prices, and this for our members only.
I hope these explanations have given you a clearer idea of future price changes. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@kazidomi.com.
Thank you for your loyalty and support, and above all thank you for working with us to build a healthier, fairer and better way of consuming for the planet.
