According to Emart on the 5th, sales of Peacock's convenient home meal kits during last Lunar New Year increased by 8% compared to the previous year. Accordingly, this year they prepared 10% more stock than last year, and from now until the 14th, customers who purchase Peacock's convenient ancestral ritual food items worth more than 25,000 KRW will receive a 5,000 KRW Shinsegae gift certificate.

By using Emart's representative convenient home meal brand Peacock and Kitchen Deli products, which are fully cooked, you can prepare a Chuseok table for under 100,000 KRW. For example, purchasing one each of six products?Mosit Leaf Songpyeon (7,980 KRW), Assorted Jeon (10,980 KRW), Soonhee's Bindaetteok (8,980 KRW), Large Pack Tteokgalbi (13,980 KRW), Five-color Feast Japchae (8,480 KRW), and Soonhee's Meat Meatballs (9,480 KRW)?totals 59,880 KRW.

Kitchen Deli corner products, which offer various ready-to-cook items, are also great for budget-friendly ancestral ritual tables. The six-variety holiday namul set, which includes bracken, bellflower root, radish greens, spinach, mung bean sprouts, and soybean sprouts, is priced at 9,980 KRW and can be repurposed for bibimbap after the ritual.

This is expected to be a great help for single-person households, dual-income families, and families planning small gatherings during the holidays.
