O Procon-PE carried out a price survey of Easter eggs between the 18th and 22/3 in 11 establishments in the Recife. Around 37 types of different brands and sizes were researched, as well as three types of chocolate boxes.
Throughout the survey, a variation of 89.08% was observed, in which a Unicorn egg, from the Arcor brand, weighing 100g and a free slime, reached R$65.99, at its highest price, and R$ 34.90, at its lowest price.
The BIS egg, weighing 318g, from Lacta, showed the greatest variation. At its highest price, it was found for R$80.85 and for R$49.90 at its lowest price. In third place, with 55.51%, is the Diamante Negro egg, weighing 300g, from Lacta. It was found at its highest price, for R$80.85, and at its lowest price, for R$51.99.
“Unlike the work we carry out, monthly, with basic food basket research, this Easter Egg research is fundamental, as Easter only happens once a year. Our research gives consumers the opportunity to guarantee the lowest price when buying a sweet souvenir, paying less”, commented the Inspection Manager, Procon-PE, Liliane Amaral.
The Specialidades de Bonbons box, from Nestlé, weighing 251g, showed a variation of 46.70%. It was found for R$10.90, at its lowest price, and for R$15.99 at its lowest price. The Garotices chocolate box, weighing 250g, from Garoto, presented the same variation as the previous box. Furthermore, the box of Favoritos chocolates, with 250g, from Lacta, was found for R$ 10.99, at its lowest price and, at its highest, for R$ 15.79.
