Countdown to Easter with the Easter Basket in effect from today for our Easter table shopping.
In addition to the “Easter Basket” and moderate prices, consumers have the opportunity to choose Easter gifts from the Godfathers’ Basket, while at the same time the “Lent Basket” is available until May 4.
As the Ministry of Development notes, the “Easter Basket” is an extension of the “Household Basket”, as four new categories of food are added, in order to be an additional outlet for consumers and their purchases of traditional lamb and goat.
The “Easter Basket” includes the following products:
- Lamb
- Kid

The “Godfathers’ Basket” includes 12 categories of products and enables consumers who are godparents or parents of small children to make cheaper purchases during the Easter period.

The Minister of Development Kostas Skrekas stated: “We support households in practice so that every family table can be filled with the necessary goods at the lowest possible prices. Initiatives such as the “Easter Basket” also increase competition between food businesses for the benefit of consumers. With the “Godparents’ Basket” we essentially help godparents and parents to buy quality toys at affordable prices to make all the children happy this holiday season. The primary concern of the government and the Ministry of Development is the help and relief of all our fellow citizens, especially the most vulnerable”.
