(The online newspaper): We wrote this recently the price war on popular Christmas items such as pork chops, medister cakes, jams, clementines and rice porridge are ongoing. The week before all the discount chains, Rema 1000, Kiwi and Coop, had lowered the price of the chocolate bars.
Nidar and Freia’s dishes have been reduced to 19.90 per 200 grams of chocolate. However, we could not see that the Christmas marzipan had received an actual price cut.
But that was until yesterday. Coop’s marzipan Christmas shelf, which Nettavisen was visiting at the time, was almost empty of goodies.
The 110-gram Nidar marzipan sausages received a price reduction of NOK 17.60 per pack, which is almost 50% off. NOK 19.30.
Cloetta Yuleskum Cola 100 grams became NOK 9.60 cheaper per bag, a corresponding cut of almost 40%.
Nidar Christmas piglet with and without chocolate 65 grams was reduced by NOK 4.60, or 23%.
Prices are compared to November 25th prices in Extra.
Price tests show that budget chains stack up in price, so the same prices generally apply to the Rema 1000 and Kiwi.
Note that not all marzipan products have gotten cheaper since the end of November. Nidar Large Christmas Pig 193 grams still costs NOK 79.90. The same goes for Nidar Snøstenger 150 grams at NOK 49.90.
Previous years have shown that prices will drop further, so here you just have to be patient – if you can resist the temptation then?
