Ukrainian Shopper Reveals Stark Price Differences: 100 UAH Then vs. Now

A recent social media video has sparked widespread discussion by comparing the purchasing power of 100 Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) in 2019 to its value in 2025. The video, created by confectionery business owner Marina Kovalchuk0907, showcases a standard grocery basket containing essential items such as bread, sunflower oil, a bottle of Coca-Cola, mineral water, instant noodles, chocolate, and biscuits. Kovalchuk meticulously presented what these items would have cost five years ago, drawing on old invoices to ensure accuracy. "I found several invoices from 2019 and made this selection," she explained, demonstrating a handwritten list of individual item prices from that period. The video then challenges viewers to estimate the current cost of the identical basket of goods, implicitly highlighting the impact of inflation on everyday expenses. This direct comparison offers a tangible illustration of the rising cost of living, resonating with many consumers facing similar economic shifts.
