According to Mr. Luong, consumers are currently very concerned about quality goods at reasonable prices, especially essential items for daily life. In response to this consumer trend, in addition to focusing on stockpiling goods, supermarkets are also increasing dialogue with suppliers to maintain prices and increase promotions in the context of many economic fluctuations.

On weekends, the unit also applies a program to buy bills that meet the required value to buy goods at extremely shocking discounts. On the supermarket's shopping page, there will also be separate promotional programs such as Tet 1, Tet 2, Tet 3, Tet 4. Each period will have different incentives. Save money but still have enough With a series of promotions and shocking discounts, supermarkets and shopping malls have become ideal destinations for Can Tho residents to freely choose quality products to serve their families during Tet. Going to the supermarket on the weekend, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Luong (Ninh Kieu district, Can Tho city) commented that the goods are displayed abundantly, the prices are reasonable and there are many attractive promotions. “I buy some cakes, candies and some items to decorate for Tet. Shopping early helps me have more choices of products, designs and brands as well as avoid price increases on the days before Tet when customer demand increases suddenly. With the promotions, some items I buy are 10% - 20% cheaper than outside and the quality is still guaranteed,” said Mr. Luong.

Also going to the supermarket to hunt for early promotions, Ms. Ho Thi Kim Loan (Ninh Kieu district, Can Tho city) shared that when the economic situation is still difficult, considering spending for Tet is quite important. Taking advantage of going to supermarkets to buy promotional items helps Ms. Loan save money and avoid having her favorite products out of stock. "Shopping early will give me more time to prepare for my family's Tet holiday, avoiding feeling busy and stressed. There are items with deep discounts of up to 50% compared to normal days, helping my family save significantly on spending but still have enough. However, when buying discounted or promotional items, I also prioritize branded products, ensuring quality and expiration date," Ms. Loan shared.
