HOUSEWIVES ARE BUSILY PREPARING THE TABLE FOR TOMORROW, AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Detailed calculation
Ahead of tomorrow's Good Friday, when a Lenten table is prepared in almost every home, citizens of Serbia are already visiting markets and fish stores, and the main dilemma remains the same - have prices "gone up" this year or have they remained at last year's level.
TL;DR
- Prices for fish, beans, and fruits for Good Friday are similar to last year.
- Oslić (hake) is the most affordable fish option, ranging from 460 to 500 dinars per kilogram.
- Šaran (carp) costs between 550 and 600 dinars, while pastrmka (trout) is around 700 to 800 dinars.
- Mackerel prices vary significantly depending on the preparation, from 500-600 dinars for basic options to 900 or 1,500 dinars for higher-quality products.
- Beans have seen some slight price decreases compared to the previous year.
- Basic fruits like apples and bananas remain affordable, while nuts and imported fruits are more expensive.
