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 consumption 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.

Grasping and following the needs of customers, Ms. Dang Ngoc Uyen Phuong - Deputy Director of Co.op Mart Can Tho supermarket - informed that this year's prices of goods are basically guaranteed and diversified from low to high segments for consumers to easily choose. In addition to direct discounts on products from 10% - 50%, buy 1 get 1 free, the supermarket also has promotional programs from now until Tet such as accumulating eligible bills to receive gifts. 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. Saving but still having enough With a series of promotions and shocking discounts, supermarkets and shopping malls have become ideal destinations for Can Tho people to freely choose quality products to serve their family's Tet holiday. 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 the situation of 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 promotions early, 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. "By shopping early, I will have 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, guaranteed quality, and expiration date," Ms. Loan shared.
