Sweet treats during Christmas: Price comparison: Some chocolate Christmas men partially cheaper

A survey by MarkenDetektive for the Deutsche Presse-Agentur found that some Christmas sweets in Germany will be cheaper this year, particularly store-brand products. Five out of five store-brand products analyzed cost 21.4% less on average, with some discounts reaching up to 41%. The price of store-brand chocolate Christmas men, weighing 110g, decreased from €1.69 to €0.99.

In contrast, some branded products like Milka's 90g Christmas man increased in price from €2.99 to €3.29, while Lindt's 70g Christmas man became cheaper by 50 cents to €3.49.
