This year, carp prices haven't seen any significant increase compared to previous years. Saigon residents offer carp as a sacrifice to the Kitchen God, hoping for a new year free from disease.

As usual, on the afternoon of the 22nd day of the 12th lunar month, people in Ho Chi Minh City rush to buy carp to send the Kitchen God off to heaven, and vendors are busy catching and selling fish.

While many other consumer goods maintained stable prices, soft drinks, especially beer, continued to see significant price differences as the market entered its peak season.
