Natural Foods Donegal

diddley

Hi,

I recently bought a bag of peanuts and noticed that they'd gone up 30 cent compared to last month.
Is this for all their products does anyone know?
I'd really like to know why they're increasing their prices in a recession???
I don't see prices coming down much in the shops at all, yes there are plenty of buy one get one free offers and the like but I don't want one free, I want a lower price!!

plenty of stuff in shops going up in price, just that we are always hearing about those going down in price.

Not really a consumer issue - moved to Rip Off Ireland

Are you aware it may not even be natural foods.

It could well be the shop increasing the price for a better margin.

More likely that the shop is charging more because it can. What's the odds it was a convenience store?

Stop putting down the convenience store. At seven in the morning when everything else is closed, they are there for you. A Tesco may have an average spend of 50 euro (complete guess), where the small store may have 6 euro.

Remember that the next time you run out of something at the last minute/late at night/christmas day.

The price is printed on every packet.

Are these the snacks from ashdoon bray in Donegal Town?

If they are, I am very surprised as the stock I have do not have any price on them.

Ya they're from Donegal Town.

In a very large supermarket every morning there are about 200 price increases and about 200 decreases. That doesn't include special offers.

So? The price, as I said, was printed on the packet.
Do you own a supermarket chain? Instead of saying "oh they put up prices sometimes" we should know why exactly they're increasing the price; what the cause of it is. I think this is particularly valid considering the economic times we're in.

.Then buy stocks in the supplier, beyond that no, you don't need to know why the price change. You're perfectly able to make a decision if you want or don't want to buy it with out such information and if they raised it because they like the color pink it would still have no impact.
