will promotions in the hygiene department now be limited?

A free detergent for one purchased or reductions of up to -70%, this may be the end of the great promotions in the hygiene department. In a supermarket, it’s a bad surprise for a mother. “If there are fewer (promotions), there will be fewer purchases”she says. The promotions would be limited to 34% as is already the case for food since the Egalim law.

Vending machines stand up against the text

A bill aims to rebalance commercial relations between distributors and manufacturers. For their part, the distributors are upwind against the text which they find irresponsible for the purchasing power of consumers, going against any anti-inflation approach. “This bill is truly shameful. (…) The Parliament decides to increase the price of a whole series of products (…) all this only to increase the already very high margins of some large world industrialists”denounces Jacques Creyssel, president of the Federation of Commerce and Distribution. The text must be approved in Parliament next week.
