Development and Investments Minister Adonis Georgiadis on Thursday presented a special ‘Lent Basket’ of lower-priced goods for the Clean Monday holiday and the period of Orthodox Lent, as well as additions to the regular ‘Household Basket’ of staple goods offered at lower prices, ANA reports.
The new additions to the basket include pulses (lentils, beans, peas), fresh chicken and meat cuts, milk, chocolates, and white cheese. Lenten goods will include halva, traditional dips, and frozen seafood.
Presenting the changes, the minister also announced stiff fines imposed on supermarkets for violating laws on reasonable profit margins and erroneously displaying prices, including a fine of 319,900 euros, which was the second-highest fine ever imposed on a supermarket.
