As we said a few days ago, anticipating the purchase of Christmas gifts is one of the tips to save money as well as to make sure we get the toys we want.
Another key, the most important, is tour different establishments Well, according to consumer organizations, the price difference between one and the other can be very significant.
The Confederation of Consumers and Users of Madrid (CECU) says that we can save up to 100 euros in toys if the appropriate establishments are chosen, while according to a study conducted by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) the average savings in the price of a toy bought in one or another establishment can be up to 20%.
The biggest price difference (26% on average) is in the cheapest toys, less than 40 euros. In those that are worth more the difference is smaller (12% on average).
The advice is to visit different establishments (large stores, specialty stores, neighborhood stores) in search of the lowest price for the same toy.
The problem is that we almost never have time to do a market study before buying the toys. In general, we always wait until the last moment, the toy stores are full of people, we buy the bullfights and we end up buying more expensive in order to get rid of the issue.
