In January 2026, La Matanza Municipality maintained a network of 'Affordability Points' for the sale of food products at reference prices in various neighborhoods of the district. According to Noticias Argentinas Agency, the scheme includes almost 60 points and proposes purchases 'up to 50% cheaper' compared to other sales channels. In parallel, the municipality highlighted the impact of banking promotions: for Cuenta DNI, benefits of up to 40% in areas related to the neighborhood consumption circuit are mentioned. Within the framework of this device, La Matanza established its municipal markets as central nodes. Rafael Castillo market operates from 10 to 18, while the bakery on the premises extends service until 19:30. Additionally, the La Ferrere Market, located at Av. Rosas 10395, has been incorporated into the scheme, operating from 10 to 18. The scheme is complemented by 'Ferias Francas' (Free Fairs) that operate from Tuesday to Sunday from 7 to 13, with an offer of vegetables, fruits, bakery, dairy, and meats, among other products.
