According to many people, the prices of some items during Tet this year have increased slightly compared to before Tet, especially meat.
Ms. Hoang Thi Loan (Song Bang ward, Cao Bang city) shared: "Pork and some other goods have increased in price, but personally I think the prices are reasonable."
Even though it is Tet, the food supply is still abundant, diverse, guaranteed quality and fresh. Vegetables and seafood also have stable prices, helping consumers easily choose suitable foods for family meals in the first days of the year.
In recent years, many families no longer have the habit of stocking up on food during Tet, because markets open very early. Thanks to that, people can shop easily in the first days of the year, meeting consumer needs.
