We have slowly said goodbye to the warm days, the autumn begins and Advent calendars and confectionery with Christmas themes are slowly appearing in the shops. There is not much interest yet, so the senior’s purchase of three large calendars surprised the shop assistant himself. The good news may be that the price of sweets did not increase compared to last year.
As in the previous year, we noticed the first calendars and Christmas confectionery in supermarkets and hypermarkets Albert. This year there is no whole offer in one place, but the stands are located differently throughout the shop. One species is for example in meat, next to oils and vinegar, the other for sweet lemonades, salami or in the drugstore department. Anyone who would come to a specific product would have to go through the entire trade.
The big shopping is so far soon
Meanwhile, the offer leaves most customers calm, walking around them unnoticed, and this is evidenced by the fact that racks with different species are carefully aligned and full. “It is soon, we include the Advent calendars like this every year, but they go for sale but with the approaching Nicholas,” the saleswoman in the hypermarket at the Arcade Pankrác shopping center told us. But he admits that customers often comment on Christmas goods with whether he is not early. “But nobody minds. If they don’t want to, they ignore it,” she added.
We have seen only one candidate for the whole time we spent in the store. The senior chose the most expensive calendar for 649 crowns, even took three. Her purchase was also surprised by the shop assistant, who mentioned that she is the first to marry Christmas goods. According to the customer, there was a grandchild for grandchildren who do not live in the Czech Republic. “They will come at the weekend, so I’m glad I got them at least somewhere,” she said. Previously, she has been around several especially smaller shops, but nowhere succeeded. She paid less than two thousand crowns and left happily.
Great price
Although prices are high, compared to last year, at least in Alberta did not grow. So far we can find especially Kinder products, other manufacturers and other species appear with the approaching holidays. This was confirmed by the service. “This is just the beginning, most of the goods are just coming,” she said.
We also looked at the prices of individual sweets. Maxi Kinder egg with a grammage of one hundred grams is based on 119.90 crowns, 220 grams for 339 crowns. A small Advent calendar, in which we find, for example, Kinder Country or a classic egg, costs 299 crowns and contains 226 grams of chocolate. 24 pieces of Kinder chocolate costs 179 and in this case it is 300 grams of chocolate. Another calendar with 24 windows costs 299 crowns, for the same amount you can buy a pack of sweets with Christmas plush. Forty crowns more expensive is the Advent calendar Kinder Bueno. The sovereign winner with the most expensive item is a large 370 gram calendar for 649 crowns, the same amount was on the label last year. All these items include a yellow etiquette indicating that it is a great price.
