At the markets, traders sell many familiar products such as vegetables, fresh food, fruits and offerings to serve the needs of going to the pagoda at the beginning of the year. According to records, prices are generally stable, without much fluctuation compared to before Tet.
Traditional markets are bustling with a variety of foods to serve people's shopping needs. The amount of goods here is abundant, in which fresh food and fruits are the most chosen. On the contrary, the fabric, cosmetics and clothing stalls are quite empty, which shows that shopping trends have changed after Tet.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Sau (Thu Thua district, Long An province) shared: "This year, I no longer stock up on food like before, but wait until the 2nd day of Tet to go to the market. Prices are stable, the food is fresh and delicious, so I feel very secure. Going to the market these days is also more comfortable, no longer crowded like the days before Tet".
