Just a political stunt statement from the same politician who promised a reduction in power prices before the last election. Must be getting close to another one.Today a government minister is on the tv espousing a price reduction of up to 10% for power in July, turns out that’s for some small businesses in SA and NSW depending on their provider. When pushed he mentions a 1.9% reduction for NSW residents with one provider and 3% with another. Seriously if they think that will make a difference they are sadly deluded.
Why careful? One item is pre-weighed in 2kg bags @ $3.25/kg, the other is loose apples @ $3/kg. I don't see anything amiss with that.be werry,werry careful when buying anything. Saw these today. Same aisle, directly opposite each other.
Should be more carefulSorry
About 70 years ago, back when I was rather young, my mother got a job at "Waltons", a department store on, I think, George Street, near the Town Hall, in Sydney. She got paid overtime to go round putting new price tickets on stock for sale. They would mark the stock up by more than double it's original price and the ticket would say "50% off!". Things sold like hot cakes! Stuff that was selling slowly, or not moving at all, flew out the door because it was "on sale". This is nothing new...Retailers have had lots of practice at being sneaky bastards but consumers are just fed up with it now and calling them out.If this wasn't so serious it would bring a laugh in the joke section. (Please read the description?)
