Olivier Index is below inflation this year

Experts calculated the Olivier Index in November. The expenses were based on the traditional "Soviet" recipe for four servings. To prepare the dish, you need: 500 g of potatoes, 200 g of carrots, 5 eggs, 300 g of boiled sausage, 100 g of onions, a can of peas, 400 g of pickles, 200 g of mayonnaise, and 50 g of dill or parsley. Based on median store prices, the set cost about 575 rubles — 5% or 26 rubles more than last year.

Prices for potatoes, onions, and eggs were lower than a year ago, while other ingredients were slightly more expensive. In any case, the increase in the cost of the Olivier set was below inflation, which, as of October, reached 7.7% year-on-year nationwide.
