Bones of saint, fritters, coffee capsules and a bestseller, among the 7 most outstanding Mercadona novelties of the week

Immersed in autumn and pending the arrival of Halloween, the Day of the Dead or All Saints' Day, stores and supermarkets do not miss the opportunity to sell and promote their seasonal products.

Mercadona, which continues to be the leader in its sector by far above the others, is no exception: if last week you could already find items to celebrate Halloween in its stores, this week you can see more typical products for these dates, as well as the autumn and also timeless.

These are some of the main and latest developments from Mercadona:

Bones of saint, buñuelos and other "autumn flavors"

In Mercadona's online store you can now find a new section called "autumn flavors", in which they present 4 typical products of this season, including those related to All Saints' Day and Halloween.

Possibly the most popular are the traditional saint's bones, in this case marketed by the Hacendado brand in a 200 g package priced at 2.20 euros.

Lastly, among its "autumn flavours" there is a 100 g package of roasted and peeled chestnuts from Hacendado, priced at 1.35 euros.
