Thank you for helping us improve the prices in Basel (Switzerland)

Please, enter as many prices as you know in Basel.

Guidelines to entering prices

Please, remember to enter the prices with the sale taxes included (i.e. use the full price that you would pay at the counter.) If it is customary or compulsory to tip or include a service cover for a given service of product, please include the tip or service cover in the price that you enter too.

You should use the prices as they can be found in the expat part of Basel. Do not enter prices that can only be found in some especially cheap neighborhoods. If you are not sure which area is the expat area in Basel, then enter prices for the center or the most expensive area of Basel.

Try to reflect the prices for brand products (not generic or whitelabel products) as found in a well-known quality supermarket in the expat area (for example, do not use prices found only in discount or outlet stores).

Finally, please take into account that your entry may not be reflected immediately in the price displayed on the page. It may take some time for the system to incorporate your price, and it will then be aggregated with all other previous prices to display an average.
