Prices may vary depending on the place of purchase: supermarkets sometimes have promotions that allow you to buy goods at lower prices.

According to the standards approved by the government of Kyrgyzstan in 2009, every citizen of the country should consume 9 types of food monthly.
The list includes: 9 kilograms of bread products, 5 kilograms of meat, 8.2 kilograms of potatoes, 9 kilograms of vegetables, 10 kilograms of fruits and berries, 2 kilograms of sugar, 17 liters of milk, 1 liter of vegetable oil, 4 eggs, and 100 grams of fish and fish products, as well as 200 grams of tea.
Based on the established norms, we calculated the cost of the consumer basket for a family of four, based on prices in one of the supermarkets in Bishkek. Recently, many city residents prefer shopping in large stores.
It is important to note that our calculations are approximate and based on government standards. Considering the differences in individual preferences, our basket should not be perceived as the only truth. It is more of a social experiment by 24.kg.
The bread products include both bread and pasta and cereals. Our family represents an average household, so it prefers apples and bananas among fruits, and onions, carrots, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, and tomatoes among vegetables. We focus only on necessary products without excess.
