Tumbleweed Posted December 31, 2013 Share Zuma looks after his family. And off I go to my holiday super resort in KZN homelands. Happy guilt-free holidays everyone Just pulling your leg. Obviously WW isn't as evil as JZ, but they both having an easy time fleecing an ignorant public. Let's not forget that the chicken run at Nkandla is a security feature… Tjokkits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00SE Posted December 31, 2013 Share It would be OK if they were "chickens", but they are more like "pigeons". Where do they find such small "chickens" ?? Thats the size chickens are supposed to be! Its only since they started with GM and dodgy farming practices that they got so big... this would be a nice explanation (woolies looking out for us with nice organic rotisserie chickens) but I think schweinehund probably has it right.. WW could source bigger chickens, but they aren't interested in value for money.Smaller chickens = lower cost and quicker roasting = bigger profits.And in true WW style they'd probably try to convince ppl that they're doing them a favour.

Wyatt Earp Posted December 31, 2013 Share How much of these price increases are due to the reserve bank increasing the Rands in circulation, and stiffing their coffers in the process? Don't know, but you can tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azi Posted December 31, 2013 Share I noticed the other day that the new Pringles cans are smaller. You now get 110 grams instead of 165grams, and you pay the same price for two thirds of product, or gram for gram, an increase of 50% in the price.

Did you notice the muffins also got smaller by about 50% I noticed immediately They did not even bother changing the packaging. So now it looks like tiny little muffins in oversized packaging.

Wyatt Earp Posted December 31, 2013 Share You are eating a dead animal, why are you worried about the smell?! If the meat is off, I get worried about the smell.When we used to have those good old butchers, you always knew the one you went to, was the one that smelt clean.

Icycling Posted December 31, 2013 Share Tonight the fuel price increase by I think something like 30c a L and the current price is about R12.00 I don't have the exact number but close enough - WOW 2.5% increase! Already on my cycle this morning I noticed fuel station fuller than normal. My point is regardless of the date been 1 day apart - it is very rare to see a rice change by 100% overnight. The expiry date validates the overnight price change. So either you were ripped off or you going to be ripped off! These are both marked prices not special prices! The only reason why I looked at the watermelon prices was I was at WW and PnP price when I bought last was R30.00 about 4 days ago, so I was expect to pay up o R40.00 at WW but the 1st price I saw was the R59.99 then noticed 1 at R29.99 and investigated! I completely understand some retailer marking down food on the sell by date 2 hours before closing of the store - that make complete business sense to reduce wastage!

LOOK695 Posted December 31, 2013 Share If the meat is off, I get worried about the smell.When we used to have those good old butchers, you always knew the one you went to, was the one that smelt clean.True. If the meat counter smells bad, I start to wonder about hygiene and if the meat has not expired. In any case, your best meat you still only get at a proper butcher shop, not your supermarkets, and most probably cheaper as well Cuppa Bru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted December 31, 2013 Share If the meat is off, I get worried about the smell.When we used to have those good old butchers, you always knew the one you went to, was the one that smelt clean.True, I was thinking more about the smell of ' cut meat' as opposed to the smell of rotting meat.When we used to eat meat we made it a habit to open all packets in the supermarket and smell the contents!

Nothing new, happens every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted December 31, 2013 Share You will notice the price of fruit decreases as we go into full season, check the prices of grapes etc, it's supply and demand. Nothing new, happens every year. Agree and since most farmers are on holiday this week, there is a shortage. My local fruit shop (where I also get quality meat from) explained to me why I should not buy meat in the week of Christmas and the new year. By the second week prices return to normal as they no longer have a supply issue. But i'm off to go braai my R80/kg Porterhouse Steak that I bought earlier this month before the mad rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
