In the blink of an eye, it is the lunar month, and we are about to usher in the most important traditional festival of the year - the Spring Festival. On this festive day, relatives who are away from home will rush back to their hometowns to reunite with their families. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, every household will be immersed in a busy and joyful atmosphere. In order to welcome the arrival of the New Year, people have begun to prepare various New Year's goods. However, as the Chinese New Year approaches, the price of many New Year's goods will also rise, so it is very necessary to buy in advance. Employees who work at supermarkets also remind everyone that if you want to avoid hesitation due to high prices during the Spring Festival, you must buy New Year's goods in advance. In particular, the following three kinds of New Year's goods need to be prepared in advance. Let's take a look!
The first type: dried fruit snacks.
During the Spring Festival, all kinds of dried fruits and snacks are indispensable New Year's goods for every household. For example: all kinds of nuts, candies, biscuits, preserves, etc., not only when the family sits together, you can eat some snacks for leisure and entertainment, but also when there are guests at home, we also have to prepare a little dried fruit snacks to entertain. But in the days at the end of the year, supermarkets are often crowded, and there are often long queues at places selling dried fruit snacks, and the prices have risen a lot, and there are even many varieties that will be sold out. So, it's better to buy some for home in advance now, which can not only enjoy the discounted price, but also have more options, and avoid queuing. Nowadays, many dried fruit snacks are packaged, and the shelf life is generally long, and we don't have to worry about spoiling when we buy them home in advance.
The second type: all kinds of lap-mei.
Lap-mei is one of the traditional Chinese foods and an essential ingredient during the Spring Festival, which carries rich cultural connotations and unique flavors. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household will prepare some lap-mei to add a special New Year's flavor to the festival. Many friends who live in rural areas may have smoked all kinds of cured meat at home, such as: bacon, preserved fish, preserved duck, sausage, etc., so that during the Chinese New Year, you can enjoy the deliciousness. For those who live in the city, if you want to eat affordable lap-mei during the Spring Festival, it is a wise choice to buy it in advance. Because in the days at the end of the year, the price of lap-mei generally rises, and it may not be possible to snap it up.
In addition to cured meat, all kinds of fresh meat, we might as well buy some in advance and put it at home, such as pork, beef, mutton, etc., which are essential ingredients during the Chinese New Year. When you buy it near the Spring Festival, you not only have to spend a high price, but it is also difficult to buy some high-quality and good meat. If you buy it in advance now, you may even be able to come across some free-range local goods from the countryside in the market.
The third point: cigarettes and alcohol.
During the Spring Festival, whether it is to entertain guests, or to visit relatives and friends to carry gifts, tobacco and alcohol are one of the indispensable items, which makes tobacco and alcohol a hot commodity during the Spring Festival. Due to the high market demand, the price of tobacco and alcohol will also rise. And when it's time to pay New Year's greetings, some brands will be sold out. Therefore, we can stock up a little in advance, not only to avoid price increases, but also to buy whichever brand we want.
During the Chinese New Year, the phenomenon of commodity price increases is indeed relatively common, which is mainly due to the change in the relationship between supply and demand and the impact of the holiday effect. The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, and people's demand for New Year's goods has increased greatly, and merchants often increase the price of goods in order to meet market demand. However, this price increase is only a short-term behavior, and once the Spring Festival is over, market demand will gradually return to normal, and commodity prices will also fall. We don't have to worry too much about the price increase of goods, and we can buy some necessities in advance according to our actual needs.
