In this Rai 3 interview, host Annalisa talks with Massimiliano Dona, president of the Unione Nazionale dei Consumatori and author of Il carrello dalla parte del manico. Dona explains that Italy’s 5.4 % inflation translates into roughly €1,700 extra annual spending for a typical two‑child family, with €750 of that devoted to non‑negotiable food costs. He argues that prices rarely fall because producers rely on promotional tactics—red‑tagged discounts, visual tricks, and limited‑time offers—rather than genuine price cuts. The discussion then moves to “shrinkflation”: products keep the same packaging while the net weight or quantity shrinks, a practice evident in olive‑oil bottles, biscuit boxes, detergents, and toilet paper, often without clear weight labeling. Dona offers concrete consumer advice: check the price‑per‑kilogram (especially for pre‑packaged salads), shop only the items on discount flyers, and choose the most appropriate sales channel (hard‑discount chains for some goods, local stores for others). Viewer questions are addressed, covering price‑comparison apps, the reliability of “extra‑virgin” olive‑oil labels, and the rise of consumer credit—now €161 billion in credit and €100 billion in other loans—highlighting the growing risk of over‑indebtedness and a new micro‑credit model targeting young online shoppers. The interview closes with a reminder of Dona’s book, which frames his consumer‑protection perspective.
