The Christmas season is undoubtedly the biggest shopping season in Ghana!
While many people use the period to shop for gifts for friends, family and loved-ones, many shops also use the period to give out special discount offers to the public.
So what are you getting your household or that special person, who has been good to you for Christmas all year round, for Christmas?
Well with just few days to Christmas, my team and I moved around Accra a bit to get items for our Ameyaw TV end of year party for staff. We wanted to get some essential stuff for our party without breaking our wallets, since we didn’t make any profit this year.
With 12 days to Christmas we compared prices in 3 key retail stores in Accra to find the best value for consumers this Christmas?
We found interesting price ranges as follows for the key items we needed for our party:
Savanna Dry Cider (330ML 24) goes for Ghc3.99 at Melcom, Ghc4.99 at Shoprite and Ghc4.49 at Game. Black Label 1lit at gh144.99 at Melcom, Gh 169.99 at shoprite, Gh 146.99 at Game… GUINNESS STOUT ALC 330ML at Gh2.99 at Melcom, gh4.99 at shoprite , 90gh for 24 pcs at Game ( Gh3.75 each).
