Today one can see few people in Armenian shops and supermarkets. Salespeople say trade “stopped” after the New Year holidays. People mainly buy dairy products, bread, mineral water and coffee. Shop assistants get delighted whenever someone drops in.
“We don’t know how to spend our day as no one comes to our shop,” said saleswoman Anahit. She says after the holiday people still have much to eat at their homes. Besides, they have spent a lot of money and try to suffice with the least.
“We still have meat in the freezer, and I cook meals with it. We still don’t know how the global financial crisis will affect our budgets and whether we shall be able to buy bread,” said housewife Varduhi.
