Prices at market up 1-2 lei before Easter

The products at the market are by 1-2 lei more expensive before Easter, but the buyers who make purchases on the last 100 meters have to comply. The buyers say the prices are not exaggerated, only slightly higher, Info-Prim Neo reports. “In one part of the market, a product costs 20 lei, while in another part 25 lei. The prices are very high. However, we afford to buy sausages, cheese, eggs and salad,” said a buyer. Another buyer, who bought fruit, said the prices differ a lot from those on ordinary days. The fruit are by 1 or 2 lei more expensive. Bananas cost 21 lei, oranges - 25-27 lei, while limes - 19 lei. Tomatoes and cucumbers sell for 30 lei a kilogram. “The prices soar. We cannot afford to buy many things with our salary,” said the man. The buyers can also purchase pound cakes for 2.5 to 100 lei. The prices differ, depending on the type of cakes, form and size. “We did not bake pound cakes as we decided to buy several cakes for the children. They are not very expensive. The Easter bread is dearer,” said a woman. The icon lamps cost 5 to 10 lei. The baskets made from osier are sold for 35-180 lei, depending on the size. The Central Market today works until evening. It will be closed on April 15 and 16.
