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.
