As reported at the Con Market, the main items for sale there were meat, vegetables, fruits, and flowers.

As buying vegetables and fruits at the Con Market, Ms Nhu, a resident of Hai Chau District, said that her family did not store so much food for use during Tet because some food supply chains and supermarkets still open to serve customers throughout the Tet holiday. She added the prices of goods during Tet generally remained unchanged compared to before the festival.
