In order to better inform consumers, the Consumer Protection Service has completed a survey to collect data on the levels of retail prices of consumer products for the day of Net Monday, for the prices that were valid on 27.02.2020.
The research concerns a total of 83 points of sale (large and small supermarkets and fruit shops), which are active in all provinces and includes products that are most popular for consumption on this day (vegetables, salads, halva, seafood, etc.).
Below we see the tables with the main products consumed during the three days of Shrove Monday.
The publication of the Net Monday Price Observatory is a useful information tool for the consumer, strengthening his ability to conduct market research and make the most profitable markets for him. In addition, it adds more transparency to the overall market picture and helps to promote competition.
The Consumer Protection Service clarifies that the Price Observatories are prepared exclusively for the purpose of assistance / general information of the consumers and in no case do they constitute advice. The Price Observatories are not intended nor can they replace the market research that each consumer has to do based on their own preferences, data and needs, nor are they intended to indicate to consumers the points of sale they will choose.
Particularly for the products included in this Observatory, it is emphasized that there are quality differences which cannot be taken into account in the results of a Price Observatory. To this end, the Consumer Protection Service encourages consumers to do substantial market research before making purchases in order to find products and prices that meet their requirements.
Finally, it is emphasized that the prices presented in each publication of the Price Observatory, refer to the prices on the specific date on which the receipt was made, ie on 27 February 2020.
