A pack of 4 rolls cost on average 1.74 euros in Italy in 2021, while today, for the same pack, an average of 2.51 euros are spent, with an increase of exactly +44.2%.

Bolzano is the city where toilet paper costs the most, 3.40 for a pack of 4 rolls, followed by Grosseto (3.15 euros), Udine (3.06 euros) and Trento (3.03). On the other side of the ranking, Syracuse, with an average price of 1.77 euros, is the cheapest province in Italy, followed by Bari (1.81 euros) and Mantua (1.87 euros).

the heaviest price increases are recorded in Grosseto and Ferrara, with a price variation exceeding +89%, +85% in Bolzano, Udine and Livorno. The provinces where toilet paper increased the least in the three-year period are Messina (+14.5%), Bari (+15.3%) and Vercelli (+17.3%).

“There are multiple factors weighing on the price increases: first and foremost the raw materials crisis, with the war in Ukraine which led to a collapse in wood imports from Russia from which the cellulose essential for producing toilet paper is obtained, and the consequent rise in international short fiber prices, which rose by 68% in January compared to pre-price increases. Then there are the higher production costs determined by energy costs".

  1. Alzano i prezzi di qualsiasi cosa con scuse a caso: tanto il governo è complice e noi cittadini siamo troppo sfigati per ribellarci.

  2. Cago al lavoro ogni mattina.
    Quindi, posso affermare che vengo pagato per utilizzarla.

  3. Stranamente da quello che ho visto ormai la più economica è quella Eco (in particolare dell’Eurospin), il che mi ha sempre lasciato perplesso in quanto solitamente le cose Eco costano di più.

    edit: bio->eco

  4. Cazzo ma quindi avevano ragioni quelli che facevano scorte al momento del covid…
