  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "Those who reach for chocolate Christmas men or gingerbread in the supermarket pay significantly less for store brands this year than last year. However, the picture is often different for branded products.",
