Early Christmas Shopping: Retailers Respond to Demand, But Prices Soar
Retailers have started stocking Christmas products early this year, responding to high customer demand and offering opportunities for early shopping and potential savings. However, consumers face higher prices due to increased raw material costs, rising rents, and energy expenses.
Shoppers can save money by purchasing Christmas items early, comparing prices, or opting for homemade alternatives like gingerbread. The price of gingerbread has risen by approximately one euro compared to last year. At Edeka, gingerbread is now priced at nearly five euros, sparking customer outrage.
Customers have expressed frustration with the increasing prices of Christmas treats. One customer reported paying almost 4.60 for a pack of Dominostones. Despite the search, no information was found about which company sold the most expensive cinnamon stars (Zimtsterne) in 2023.
