In order to better inform consumers ahead of the Christmas holidays, the Consumer Protection Service has completed a survey to collect data on the retail price levels of fresh meat, vegetables and delicatessen products for prices valid on 20 December 2023.
With regard to fresh meat, prices were obtained from 90 outlets (large and small supermarkets and district butchers), for vegetables from 38 outlets (large and small supermarkets) and for delicatessen products from 48 outlets (large supermarkets and bakeries/pastry shops). The Observatory covers all provinces.
The publication of the Christmas Observatory is a useful information tool for consumers, empowering them to carry out market research and make the most advantageous purchases. It also adds more transparency to the overall market picture and helps to promote competition.
The Consumer Protection Office clarifies that the Price Observatories are prepared solely for the purpose of assisting/general information to consumers and do not constitute advice under any circumstances. The Price Observatories are not intended to and cannot replace the market research to be carried out by each consumer on the basis of his or her own preferences, data and needs, nor are they intended to indicate to consumers which outlets to choose.
For the products included in this Observatory in particular, it is stressed that there are qualitative differences which cannot be taken into account in the results of a Price Observatory.
To this end, the Consumer Protection Office urges consumers to carry out meaningful market research before making purchases in order to find the products and prices that meet their requirements and to check what they are paying for and what they are getting.
Finally, it is stressed that the prices presented in each publication of the Price Observatory refer to the prices on the specific dates on which the price taking has been carried out, i.e. 20 December 2023 for this particular case.
The detailed data of the Observatory are provided on the website of the Consumer Protection Agency.
