Why Croats Are Eagerly Waiting for Action Store Opening: Prices That Will Shock You!
Have you ever thought that the arrival of a single store could cause such a buzz in Croatia? Well, it looks like it will! The Dutch discount store Action, known for its low prices on non-food products, is finally coming to Croatia and has already caused a real frenzy.
What is Action and why is it such a hit?
Action is a store rapidly expanding across Europe, offering everything from household essentials, hygiene products, decorations, textiles, toys, and even some food items. The main thing? Prices are often significantly lower than in local stores.
Prices that will make you wonder where you’ve been shopping all this time!
Let’s look at some examples:
- “The Pink Stuff” bucket costs 2.95 euros at Action, while in Croatia it costs 4.95 euros.
- Ajax floor cleaner 1L costs 1.88 euros at Action, but 2.65 euros in local stores.
- Three Bref toilet fresheners cost 3.68 euros at Action, while in Croatia you pay the same for just two.
- Palmolive shower gel 250 ml costs 2.99 euros at Action, but around 5 euros in local drugstores.
- A pack of 24 Always pads costs 2.69 euros at Action, while in Croatia it’s about 3 euros.
And that’s not all! Some food products are also cheaper:
- Lindt Lindor pralines 200 g cost 4.99 euros at Action, but 8.99 euros in Croatia.
- Takis snacks 160 g cost 3.49 euros at Action, while in local stores they are over 5 euros.
Of course, not everything is cheaper. For example, a 0.5L bottle of Coca-Cola costs 1.49 euros at Action, but only 1.15 euros in Croatia.
Why are prices higher in Croatia?
Although it’s not certain that prices in Croatia will be identical to those in Austria, where Action is already present, it’s clear they will be competitive. Reasons for higher prices in Croatia may include transportation costs, taxes, and local market conditions.
What does this mean for consumers?
The arrival of Action means Croats will finally have access to products at prices previously seen only abroad. This could push local stores to lower prices or offer better deals, which is great news for all of us who love to save money.
But is it all that great?
Of course, caution is needed. Low prices often mean lower product quality. Consumers should be careful and not buy something just because it’s cheap. Also, the arrival of a big discount store might impact small local shops that may not be able to compete.
Conclusion
Action in Croatia is definitely an event that will change the way we shop. With products often up to 50% cheaper than in local stores, it’s no wonder Croats are eagerly awaiting the opening of this store. But as always, be a smart shopper — don’t buy just because it’s cheap, buy because you really need it and it’s worth it.
So, are you ready to rush into Action? Or do you think it will be just another ordinary discount store? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for and who’s against this shopping revolution! We might be surprised who ends up the biggest winner.
This is just the beginning of a big change in the Croatian market. Stay tuned for more info and remember — smart shopping is the best shopping!
