Change since October
October's index compared only 22 items; November's compares all 30. So the totals cannot be set side by side: Rami Levy did not go from ₪168.64 to ₪220.36, the basket simply got bigger. On the same 22 items, the change from October to November was small:
| Chain | October | November | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rami Levy | ₪168.64 | ₪168.24 | 0.2% less |
| Osher Ad | ₪180.93 | ₪180.93 | no change |
| Shufersal | ₪183.90 | ₪183.45 | 0.2% less |
| Yochananof | ₪189.68 | ₪189.68 | no change |
| Hazi Hinam | ₪202.06 | ₪196.67 | 2.7% less |
| Mahsanei HaShuk | ₪202.10 | ₪202.95 | 0.4% more |
| Keshet Teamim | ₪202.55 | ₪201.05 | 0.7% less |
| Carrefour | ₪205.91 | ₪208.91 | 1.5% more |
| Victory | ₪221.20 | ₪220.35 | 0.4% less |
| Tiv Taam | ₪230.48 | ₪236.98 | 2.8% more |
The rises at Tiv Taam (₪6.50) and Carrefour (₪3.00) came entirely from vegetables: a kilo of cucumbers went up ₪2 at both and a kilo of tomatoes ₪1. Hazi Hinam's drop comes from a change in the products used for comparison (flour, olive oil and pita), not from lower prices on the same products.

| Pantry and pita (12 items) | Shufersal, ₪87.31 | Tiv Taam, ₪120.71 |

Coverage
In October, an item was compared only if all ten chains had it and no price was flagged as an outlier, which left 22 of 30. From November, a missing price is replaced with the median of the other chains and marked ≈. Matching gaps for garlic, tomato paste and black pepper were also closed, so 298 of 300 prices were found. Two prices are replaced with a median: fine bulgur at Osher Ad (no verified product yet, ₪4.45), and ground beef at Mahsanei HaShuk, where the price (₪44.90 per 500 g) is far above the all-chain median (₪23.20) and is being checked. Until the check is done, ₪22.95 is used, and Mahsanei HaShuk's rank may change.
What the index does not tell you
It is one basket of 30 staples, not your whole trolley. Each chain gets the price most of its branches charge, so your branch may differ. Promotions and club prices are not included. In the middle of the table the gaps are tiny: Yochananof and Shufersal are ₪0.42 apart.
Prices as of 1 November 2026. The full item-by-item table is on the November index page, daily prices are in Prices, and the methodology explains how the index is built.
