Limited Price Drops for New Year's Eve Dinner – Only Cucumbers and Tomatoes See Reductions

The cost of the New Year's Eve dinner is expected to remain at the same level as the Christmas dinner, as price reductions are limited to tomatoes and cucumbers and are negligible. According to research by the Pan-Cypriot Consumers Association, a lavish meal for a family of four will cost around 160 euros, while for a family of six it will be 227 euros. A more economical meal will cost 98 and 129 euros respectively. Compared to 2024, there is a 9% increase. The Association criticizes the e-Kalathi, arguing that it has failed to meet expectations, as supermarket participation is limited and the number of available products is very small compared to the initial target of 3,000 products. Furthermore, it describes the application as user-unfriendly, as the majority of users did not use it again.
