Outrageous pricing.

[Workingman]

I buy 1 ltr bottles of Vimto fruit squash from B&M for £1.25. I ran out yesterday evening and as it is a drive to B&M I thought to get a bottle at the Co-op.

So, there I am looking at Vimto and the label says "£2.50 Member's Price - save £1.25!" Hang on, for members it is double the price of B&M, for non-members it is treble the price!

Both prices are what I would call a "rip-off" when the same bottle is £2.00 at ASDA just up the road... and even that is 75p more than B&M.

Some of these loyalty card prices are fake, as was shown on Panorama a few months back. Trading Standards should get involved.

There does seem to be some really wild swings in pricing going on at the moment.

We buy Loyd Grossman curry cooking sauces in Asda. Like this:

£3 seems to be the "regular " price - Tesco, Sainsburys etc.
But Asda, this year, have sold them as low as £1.85 and as high as £3.35. There doesn't seem to be any stability in their pricing system - different every time I go in!

There's either a heck of a lot of competitive / loss leader discounting going on or somebody's making a shed-load of profit ......
