Notably, this promotional period also coincides with the changing seasons, a time when people focus on buying nutritious food and improving their lifestyles. Nourishing with quality food at deep discounts: With two young children in elementary school, Ms. Tran Bich Lan Chi (42 years old, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) and her husband are very concerned about their children's development. With the changing seasons, she has been actively nourishing her family members. During this time, Ms. Duong Truong Hai My (Ho Chi Minh City) is also increasing the nutritional intake for her children and herself, while simultaneously ensuring a clean environment. "This time, my family spent over 3 million VND at the supermarket buying food and cleaning supplies," Ms. Hai My said. Because she bought from the Co.opmart supermarket near her home, most of the food and goods she purchased were on sale. Responding to consumer trends, especially during seasonal changes, many large chain stores and supermarkets are currently launching various promotional packages for customers. Prominent among these is the "Gratitude for a Million Emotions" program, which continues at over 800 outlets of the Ho Chi Minh City Commercial Cooperative Union (Saigon Co.op), including Co.opmart, Co.opXtra, Co.op Food, Co.op Smile, Cheers, Finelife, Sense City, SenseMarket, etc., until November 20, 2024. This aims to increase opportunities for customers to access quality, safe food and good goods at significantly discounted prices. Notably, in the second week of the event, Co.opmart and Co.opXtra are offering thousands of practical gifts, a 35% discount, and a flat price of 35,000 VND on many everyday consumer goods. Similarly, the beneficial "Meat Week" event, featuring pork, beef, chicken, duck, and other products, offers additional discounts of 15% - 20%. With these programs, Saigon Co.op members can save up to 350,000 VND for every 1 million VND spent, significantly reducing spending pressure as the market prepares for the peak year-end shopping season. Members also benefit from a double points system on each transaction. Accordingly, on the double points day of November 11th, customers with invoices of 300,000 VND or more will receive double points, quickly accumulating points to redeem gifts or discounts on subsequent purchases. Appreciation gifts and valuable shopping vouchers are also special highlights for members, creating additional surprises for customers who participate according to the rules. For example, during the "Livestock and Poultry Meat Week," discounts of 15% - 20% are applied to products such as chicken drumsticks, boneless chicken feet, chicken thighs, chicken fillets, chicken wings, duck breasts, pork sausage, chicken quarter legs, American beef, etc., with prices starting from only 27,000 VND.

Eating nutritious food, living in clean conditions, and boosting health: According to the Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC), erratic weather changes, from hot to cold, sunny to rainy during transitional seasons, can affect health, especially in children whose immune systems are not yet fully developed. In Vietnam, over 289,000 cases of seasonal influenza were recorded nationwide last year alone. Therefore, authorities have outlined four preventative measures during this period of fluctuating weather. First, pay attention to your diet to boost your immune system. Ensure a balanced diet with adequate nutrients, paying particular attention to protein and micronutrients. Zinc and iron are two extremely important micronutrients found in abundance in beef, chicken, fish, eggs, and seafood. Simultaneously, develop a habit of eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and drinking fruit juices to supplement vitamins and minerals. Other measures include changing lifestyle habits (keeping warm, staying in well-ventilated rooms and avoiding drafts, exercising appropriately, maintaining good hygiene), proper care (drinking plenty of water, using cool compresses, visiting medical facilities for check-ups, etc.), and vaccination.
