Grocery Prices in Luxembourg 2025: Food Costs Revealed in Survey

Food prices in Luxembourg today

So, you are standing in a supermarket, staring at a €10 cheese, which honestly feels like a luxury purchase. Just until you see the prices for milk. Why so high? Luxembourg has modest farmlands, so it leans on imports for food, goods travel far, and transport costs pile up. High local wages also mean retailers can stock pricier items, knowing shoppers can often afford them. The result: a grocery bill that makes you double-check your receipt, and surely bring your own bag.

In March of 2025, Luxembourg’s inflation rate dropped to 1.3%, down from 1.7% in February, largely due to a 3.4% decline in petroleum product prices, according to the update from Statec. Grocery prices saw a modest month-on-month increase, with notable rises in chocolate (4.5%), butter (2.7%), cheese (1.3%), and rice (1.1%), while fresh fish (-3.4%), fresh vegetables (-2.1%), and breakfast cereals (-2.4%) decreased. On a year-on-year basis, food prices rose by 0.9%, contributing minimally to overall inflation.

Luxembourg’s high prices don’t always feel justified. Yet, there’s a spark of pride in outsmarting the system. Every trip to the store is a reminder: living here means mastering the art of the deal. Let's learn how.

Cutting to the chase. Singles spend €200–€400, couples fork out €400–€1,000, and families hover at €500–€700. These numbers, drawn straight from our community, set the stage for Luxembourg’s supermarket prices, where every aisle is a test of strategy… or willpower.

A story can be a little different if you try to optimize the effort, not the cost. A bright example of that is a story that our reader has shared for the survey: "I eat lunch at work every day, and my husband orders food at home a few times a week since he works remotely. Weekly we also order 3 Hello Fresh dinners for 2 people. Our monthly budget for food is €750 for restaurants/deliveries/lunches (200 euros are reimbursed by the office), plus €550 euros for the groceries including Hello Fresh. For now I'm trying to optimize time rather than cost, so meal kits delivery services in Luxembourg save the day, even though it costs more than simple grocery shopping".
