In 2022, we witnessed that the prices on the market shelves change frequently. Stocking behavior was one of the main reasons for this situation. The biggest reason customers stocked up was that product prices were constantly changing. Fortunately, the first application that will end this situation in 2023 has been implemented! Fixed prices.
So what does this mean? Let’s explain now. As you know, it is difficult to predict at what price the products on the market shelves will be sold the next day. Therefore, it is the most logical choice to buy it when you find it cheap. But thanks to the fixed price application, the prices on the market shelves will remain the same for 1 month. Therefore, let me tell you, it will be expensive tomorrow, there will be no rush for a raise.
2023 has started well! No increase in market prices, fixed price period has begun!
Şok Marketleri was the first to adopt the fixed price application. In the statement made by Şok, it was stated that 1000 products were switched to fixed prices throughout January. This attitude will also be an important obstacle to inflation.
After Şok’s decision, markets such as Bim and A101 are expected to adopt a similar practice.
You can learn about 1000 products for which the fixed price application is valid, from the official site of Şok. But let me point this out. Fixed price application has been implemented in a significant part of basic foodstuffs. In fact, it would be much nicer if the government made this a rule for all markets.
