Toilet paper becomes top-selling item in Argentina's Cyber Monday

Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA) — Cyber Monday revealed a curious fact about Argentine consumption: in terms of units sold, toilet paper ranked number one in sales on the Mercado Libre platform. According to what the Argentine News Agency (NA) learned from a Clarín report, the cleaning product was followed on the podium by a L'Oreal hair treatment and kitchen rolls. The event, which extended its discounts until November 11, recorded the sale of over 5 million products in its first three days. While personal care and cleaning items led in volume, the ranking by revenue was headed by technology and high-value appliances: cell phones, air conditioners, sneakers, televisions, and notebooks. The survey also highlighted the importance of financing in this economic context: more than 60% of purchases were made in installments, taking advantage of the financing offer of up to 18 interest-free payments available during the discount week.
