ARCHIVED - 30 items for 30 euros: Carrefour launches mega money-saving deal in Spain
The offer will include household staples like cereal and pasta as well as personal care products
Just hours after vice president Yolanda Díaz announced that she plans to meet with the big retailers to discuss reducing the price of food and other essential items in shops throughout Spain, supermarket chain Carrefour has come flying out of the gate before the other stores with a money-saving plan of its own.
The supermarket will offer a basket of 30 basic items for just 30 euros, containing everything from grocery staples like cereal, preserves, pasta, oil and coffee to a selection of personal care, cleaning and perfumery products.
Announcing the promotion on Twitter, Alexandre de Palma, Executive Director of Carrefour Spain explained that "the current situation requires agile and effective measures".
"At this time, when each act of purchase is more valuable than ever, Carrefour responds to its customers: we work to offer savings solutions that protect the purchasing power of families in Spain,” he added.
Ms Díaz plans to meet with the French supermarket chain on Thursday September 8 to discuss, among other things, the contents of the promotional shopping basket, ahead of discussions next Monday with the main consumer associations and distributors.
The vice president has already been met with stiff opposition from these industry giants, who argue that putting a price cap on basic products like bread, milk and fruit is illegal and goes against fair market competition.
In response, the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, categorically ruled out establishing a legal price limitation as was done with masks at the height of the pandemic, but instead suggested that an agreement be reached on a general price reduction on 20 or 30 staple shopping products.
The 30 products for 30 euros promotion will be available at all Carrefour stores in Spain and online from September 12 until January 8.
