At this time of Christmas, and even more with reduced budgets over the economic situation we are facing, we must be very careful about where to buy toys for which it is recommended to compare prices from different stores because depending on this, their prices can vary significantly and may assume an average saving in the price of a toy up to 20% if purchased at an establishment or another, according to a study on prices of 42 toys in 15 Spanish cities conducted by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU).
Thus, the difference is greater in toys cheaper (less than 40 euros), reaching over 26%. In contrast, more expensive toys (more than 40 euros), the possible savings is lower, only 12%.
The distribution channel cheaper to buy toys is very specialized area and the most expensive department stores, although the differences are minor, with less than 2%.
The OCU study shows that, although there is no great difference in prices between the cities visited, Oviedo is the cheapest. Instead, Madrid and Alicante are the cities that get the same toys are more expensive.
Therefore, the OCU recommends purchasing toys in different places to achieve cost savings, as prices vary from one toy to another facility.
