Reportage : New Year’s Eve at home-More expensive New Year’s table compared to last year

From Thursday morning, long queues form in the market and especially outside butchers, where pork and lamb traditionally figure at the top of tastes

After the change and the acceleration of the measures, many people decided to have a good night at home and so they wanted to do the last minute shopping
“We have to be very sparing in our markets, not to go out of budget but I think a decent New Year’s table can be set up”

“15-20 days ago I bought lamb, it was very expensive, 12 euros
-While last year he had 10?
-YES”

“Yes, since yesterday when the measures were announced, there has been a panic because the data changed, some had arranged holidays, some had arranged to have a good night in a restaurant
They mainly prefer lamb and goat. “These have an increase of around 20%,” commented a butcher.

The preparations in the neighborhood patisseries are also feverish, where the citizens do market research just before setting the New Year’s table, which, as we are told, they will pay more for.

“It will cost me more, it will cost me 50 more,” a consumer commented.

The increase in raw materials combined with demand raises prices

“Traffic has increased because there are many cancellations due to the situation we are experiencing.
The king pie in our country has 14 euros per kilo, as well as the melomakarona with the kourabiedes “said a bakery owner

Consumers are also seeing higher prices for vegetables.

“For the festive table, what I notice is that the tomatoes have some increase of 20-30%, we can find them from a 1.60 to 2.40. The feta has gotten a lot where it had 8-8,850 now it has 10.50 for that and people are trying to fill the table alternatively “stressed a grocery store owner

According to ESEE, the festive table for 2 families will be more expensive this year compared to last year at a cost of 83 to 114 euros
