Like, I don't live in a state with a deposit. But local grocery stores regularly sell Pepsi and Coke 12 packs for $2.50 each. Not sure why you'd be confused about some lovely off brand soda being $2.50.

It's common for large stores to price the odd item below cost. They do this because many customers who buy these so called "loss leader" items will buy other stuff as well.

Faced with these choices I would go with the Dr. Skipper because they had the biggest "how close can we get to being sued for this name and design" balls. Bet they ripped the flavor off really well. Also chance of a $1 mil which I don't see anybody else even attempting to match.

Thus they get incredibly cheap prices because they are buying millions of products from the manufacturer every year.

Sheep-Goats posted:My Brit friend in Bangkok said standard retail markup is around 2x what you paid unless you were talking luxury items or jewelry or something then it's 4x retail is all about getting people in the door and spending as much time as possible inside the store. Plenty of items are "Loss leaders" meaning you sell them at a loss to make people come to your store instead of the other guys store. I could write pages about supermarket retail but who cares. Some luxury items such as perfume have markups in the 1000% range edit as far as distributor to store price and retail price its generally in the 10-25% range on the majority of things. Theres some ridiculous poo poo that goes on. a while ago all the laundry detergents got changed to double concentrate and had the bottles/boxes reduced greatly in size. Because of the change and confusion the 2 or 3 companies who supply those products were price fixing and making shitloads of money. The scenario kind of was 2L is now 800ml for the supposed effectiveness of 1.6L but the price went to double the previous 2L price. This is just a really rough example. They got away with it for like 2 years where a small box of laundry powder now cost $15 instead of $5 Isaac fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Apr 28, 2016 |
