Where is the 55cent? I’m seeing a 69cent difference in this pic
Mad to think a couple year ago it was a euro
Because inflation
The old bottles are price marked by the manufacturer, if they hadn’t been I imagine Mace would have been charging €2.49 all along
Why not? Don’t buy it if its too expensive.
Because Cunts. Cuntish companies will continue to be cunts so long as people by their cuntish shite.
Because people are dumb enough to pay it I guess
Because yall keep paying for this shit no matter the price and companies realize this.
I’d the bigger bottle in the bottom of the picture cheaper?
I can’t speak for this particular shop but as a retailer there a few things I can mention.
The bottles that are flagged usually cost a lot less than the ones that aren’t.
Seeing a bottle of lucozade flagged at say €1.80 and a bottle that isn’t flagged retailing at 50c+ is usually the same profit margin for a retailer.
Personally, if I know the wholesaler has the flagged items in stock but sends me the non-flagged items, I return them and request the flagged items. Who the fuck is going to pay €2.50 for a drink that normally retails for €1.80.
This doesn’t just go for drinks. There are many items that I buy from wholesalers that are flagged at a certain price, and when they aren’t the cost goes up.
I’ve seen similar comments about prices going up since the Re-Turn scheme came into practice. From what I’ve seen, wholesale costs have gone up (this does not include the deposit) leading to retail prices going up. My guess is that the manufacturers have increased cost due to the fact that they now need to separate and print specific labels for Ireland rather than use the international barcodes that were in place, and the price increase has trickled down to the consumer.
They are two different barcodes. Not the same product.
One is the fizzy, the other is the non-fizzy?
More evidence that there is actually no cost of living crisis and that’s just grumbling.
The fact is nobody would be buying these and a lot of other stuff at all if there was a real crisis.
