Products from the warehouse, cleaning, perfumery, personal care and hygiene, baby items, fresh products (cold cuts, fresh pasta, empanada and cake tops), frozen foods and beverages are part of Care Prices. For this stage, an average quarterly increase guideline of 9.3% was agreed with the different chambers, which will be divided in stages: 3.3% in July; 3.2% in August and 2.5% in September.
In addition, “the National Government continues to work to agree with the dairy companies a basket with the most representative and consumed products of that category, while meetings continue with the refrigerators for the renewal of Cortes Care,” they reported.
With this renewal, the aim is to shorten the gap between the agreed and non-agreed products so that the program achieves its objective of being a price reference that optimizes the best possible choice when shopping, granting greater predictability to family spending and at the same time guaranteeing supply.
Prices Care is available every day of the week in retail supermarket chains throughout the country such as Jumbo, Vea, Disco, Changomás, Coto, Carrefour, Día, Josimar, La Anónima, Libertad, Cooperativa Obrera, Super Santiago, Himisa Supermarket, Beltran, Blü, Borbotti, El Solar, El Zorzón, Único, El Abastecedor and Alfa.
Fruit and Vegetable Basket
In addition to Care Prices, the national government also updated the fruit and vegetable basket. In this case, the selected products and the agreed prices for this month until August 7 are (per kilo): potato ($63), onion ($105), tomato ($210), lettuce ($170), and apple ($190) .
The objective of this basket is to provide reference prices for a market whose dynamics are very volatile and changeable due to different issues such as seasonality and weather. It is available in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA), every day, in the Día, Walmart, Changomas, Jumbo, Vea, Disco, Coto, Carrefour and Makro supermarkets.
