It is recalled that the "household basket", in accordance with current legislation and based on the approval given by the Competition Commission, lasts until March 31st, 2023.

As competent sources of the Ministry of Development point out to CNN Greece, probably next week there will be the relevant legislation to extend the measure and then, in view of the Easter season, to create the "Easter basket" in the supermarkets as well as the "godfather's basket" » in game stores.

At the same time, today the "household basket" enters its 18th week of application, while correspondingly, the "Lent basket" is applied for the second week, with supermarkets renewing their lists today.
What will the "Easter basket" contain

The "Easter basket" will essentially take the place of the "Lent basket", a few days before Easter and will be created to meet the needs of consumers when shopping for food for their Easter table.

Competent officials of the Ministry of Development note to CNN Greece that this new "basket" is expected to include additional items in the meat category, lamb and goat, as well as tsoureki and chocolate eggs.
The "godfather's basket"

As far as the "godfather's basket" is concerned, it will work similarly to the one implemented during the Christmas period, in toy stores. The categories of toys it will include are expected to be similar to those in "Santa's basket". At the same time, the candles will also be added for the purchases of the godparents in their christenings.
