Price coverup

Woolies continue to scam shoppers with putting up prices and then saying ‘30% off’.
I wanted to buy some chicory - has been $6 for quite a while. 2 days later there was a yellow tag over the top of the original $6 tag for $7 and 30% off! They hadn’t even bothered to remove the $6 tag!
 
Coles do the same, obviously think we are all cursed with very short memories, or are too stupid to notice. One jar of coffee that before the pandemic cost $11, went soaring up to $21 and is currently ^reduced^ to $18. Of course they no longer sell the smaller jars that were $6, making sure we have to buy the bigger ones; more profit for them!

Thank goodness for Aldi.

And by all reports, Coffee prices are going to soar again in the very near future and remain at exhorbitant prices for quite some time.....stock up now I would suggest, or like myself think seriously of becoming a tea drinker instead.

I would keep an eye on Aldi also they are likely to catch the same disease as Coles and woolies .....whos gonna stop them
It has started already with Aldi.... don't forget that the buyers for Aldi are the rejects from Coles and Woollies..... so the virus has spread
 
For all intentions, just don't get suckered into the Class Action taken out against Woolies & Coles. I don't think that the average Joe Blow will get a solitary razoo out of it, i.e., if the case is proven.

NOVEZAR.

Living in a small country town there's not a lot to choose from. I refuse to go to Foodworks because their prices are over the top and their meat is on the nose. Their veges are old but they still charge more than anywhere else. Don't think all Foodworks stores are the same though. I do a monthly shop at Woolworths and I still save over $400 by shopping there. I don't even look at the shelf prices anymore because I know what ever I buy I'm still winning.
