Meet Yasmin, a nurse from Brandenburg, Germany, who’s spending her weekends stocking up on pasta, canned goods, and toilet paper. Why? Inflation in Europe’s largest economy has hit food and gas prices hard, with many pointing to sanctions on Russia as a key factor. \"Energy bills have doubled since last winter,\" Yasmin says in a viral video. \"People are scared there won’t be enough.\"
The latest data shows consumer prices rising at their fastest pace in decades. Gasoline costs alone have jumped 35% year-on-year, forcing some drivers to carpool or switch to bikes. Meanwhile, grocery aisles are thinning as residents mimic Yasmin’s stockpiling strategy. \"It’s like early-pandemic vibes,\" one Berlin student told us.
Analysts warn the energy crunch could deepen if Russian gas flows stop completely. While politicians debate solutions, everyday Germans are taking matters into their own hands. Pro tip? Check out local farmers' markets – some report stable prices (for now).
