One shopping trip, but two pricing patterns: food rose while three non-food categories fell.
Timing effect
40%
saved on one seasonal toy
A parent buying in February instead of November can keep 30-40% of the price. On a €22.99 doll, that is up to €9.20 back.
Why?
Post-holiday toy discounts land in this window, near the bottom of the yearly price curve.
New packaging and colourways push older stock down to clear shelf space.
A doll is not rebought weekly, so discounted prices are not pulled back up by restocking.
