Waiting to pay, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bao (Hiep Binh ward) happily pointed to the cart full of goods, saying that she was shopping for the whole family so the quantity was quite large, maybe up to several million VND.

"Not only do I buy for the holidays, I also buy more for later use because many items are on sale, especially shampoo and laundry detergent," said Ms. Bao.

The supermarket representative said that the program "Proud of Vietnamese Supermarket 2025" with more than 30,000 promotional items has helped holiday purchasing power increase sharply compared to normal days, becoming a highlight compared to previous years.

In addition to supermarkets, bookstores are also a "chill out" choice for many families in Ho Chi Minh City. On the afternoon of September 1, at Fahasa Pham Van Dong, many products were discounted, attracting many customers to shop and experience the service.
