Prices for Christmas delicacies climb drastically - customers shocked!
Christmas time has started - and with it the shocking price increases for popular sweets at Aldi, Edeka and Kaufland. According to a current study by the “Sumup” financial company, prices from chocolate Christmas men and Advent calendars have increased by up to 32 percent compared to the previous year. Brands such as children, Lindt and Milka are particularly affected. For many customers it could be an expensive fun!
Special attention to advent calendar
In the Advent season, colorful advent calendars illuminate the anticipation for Christmas. Nowadays, these not only contain chocolate, but also a variety of products, from toys to cosmetics to tools. Although these calendars are extremely popular, consumer -protecting experts like Ron Pertuss warn against being blinded by the appealing packaging. He emphasizes that prices often do not match the actual value of the content. If you pay attention to the costs when buying, you should consider whether the investment is really worth it or whether there are cheaper alternatives that bring just as much joy.
The price increases are not only visible in chocolate items and advent calendars, other Christmas treats are also affected. For example, while a child is now 22 percent more expensive than last year, the organic chocolate Christmas man of DM remains stable in the price. The negative price developments throws a shadow on the festive anticipation, with some products also presenting themselves as cheaper, such as the Milka Oreo Advent calendar, which was reduced by 12 percent. The explanations of “the West” suggest that buyers are required to have a certain foresight in order not to get into the price clamp.
The consumer advocates in turn criticize the market dynamics based on the popularity of advent calendars, as this leads to excessive prices. Ron Perduss advises consumers to look critically and, if necessary, to take their legs into their hands in order to avoid overpriced products so as not to become financial spoiling for the upcoming holidays. Current information and tips on savings options are provided in various formats to help buyers make smarter decisions.
