UrBC, Moscow, August 14, 2015. On average, Ural Federal District's grocery shoppers spent 455 RUR at a supermarket at a time, which was 3% less than a year earlier, Romir reports.

In the country on the whole, the figure is up by 3.2%, up to 559 RUR (the same as last month). Average basket's worth increased by 1.3% in cities with the population of over 1m people, by 1% in cities with 500,000 to 1m residents, and remained the same as a few months ago in cities with under 500,000 people.

When broken down by supermarket size, the figures still don't look very different from several months earlier: the average basket's worth went up by 12 RUR in hypermarkets (+1.2%), went down by 19% in supermarkets (-4%), increased by 4.6% in old-fashioned smaller shops, and decreased by 1 RUR in discounter stores.

The average basket's worth is calculated on the basis of shopping records of 10,000 Russian citizens living in cities with the population of over 100,000 people.
