Any Doves?

Fig Leaf writres:

Now then, will I buy 4 bars of Dove soap for €2.94 or €4.20? Let me think…. Tesco, in the world renowned Crumlin Shopping Centre [Dublin 12]

I suggest buy no bar of soap, leave the shop and never return…

The €4.20 has real Dove in it whereas the other has just Seagull. I’d go for the dearer one meself.

Happens all the time. We always assume that the “bigger, value pack” is better value than just a load of smaller ones. It’s often not.

This. It’s a deliberate psychological trick.

  It is not a psychological trick. It is taking advantage of people’s crap mathematical skills and lack of time.

Same in Tesco in Rush, but didn’t photograph it as evidence of this outrageous outrage

You’re sorry now, though, aren’t you?

And while we’re at it, in case anyone’s wondering, I can reveal that comment critical of Buzz O’Neill are not permitted on Broadsheet. Or so it seems.

The price variation has been like that for years….says she who buys the 2 pack all the time. It’s the same in Dunnes Stores…not just Tesco.

This is why you always check the price per Kg ….. actually can that always be relied on ???? I rarely if ever think to do the old sums when faced with these life changing purchase decisions.
