From April 22 to May 4 the “Godfather’s Basket” comes into force, while from April 24 to May 4 the “Easter Basket”. The “Lent Basket” will also remain in effect until May 4. According to the Ministry of Development, the “Easter Basket” is an extension of the “Household Basket”, as four new food categories are added.
“We support households in practice so that every family table is filled with the necessary goods at the lowest possible prices. “Initiatives such as the ‘Easter Basket’ increase competition between food businesses, to the benefit of consumers. With the “Godparents’ Basket” we help godparents and parents to buy quality toys at affordable prices, so that all children are happy during these festive days”, said Development Minister Kostas Skrekas.
In detail, the “Easter Basket” includes the following products:
Lamb – Goat – Tsoureki – Easter chocolate eggs and similar products
