Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Last week at Edeka.

10 kg Record briquettes on offer for 19.99 euros.

A year ago they cost 1.99 euros.

But back then we hadn’t sanctioned the Russian coal yet. So heating with coal can be forgotten. Far too expensive.
Surprisingly, heating oil remains the cheapest heating method. Those with a new electricity supply contract will also come out more expensive with a heat pump. But most electricity price increases are probably still to come.

The announced price increases seem realistic to me. I don't like furniture stores with their discounts and moonlight markdowns. We have a kitchen studio that doesn't negotiate. Price and that's it. Plus good advice, good service.

To make it a bit more concrete: This is the number that is supposed to cost over 25k. Even without the large "buffet cabinet" extension, we would still be over 21k. Is that normal? Despite price increases, it seems expensive to me. If I leave out the cabinet, the kitchen is maybe half the size of my Nobilia from 2020 but is supposed to cost 3k more. (?) This was our first kitchen studio, but also a relatively small one with good reviews. We have another appointment at a different one this weekend. But I can't help it, it seems expensive to me? Apart from the Bora (which probably costs around 4k), we have no big gimmicks in it. Refrigerator, oven, dishwasher all from the Siemens/Bosch range, nothing with crazy functionality. Villeroy & Boch ceramic sink, but our 2020 kitchen already had that too.
