Pack of two coats more than buying two singles?
The plastic wrap holding the two costs 50 cents
Heck yeah! And that cost gets paid for by the customer.
Just buy 2 single cans , then return them together and you’ve just made yourself $.50
Infinite money glitch
You think plastic wrap is free? /s
Another case of Trickflation
Taking advantage of people who can't math or can't be bothered to math.
You don't even have to do math, they show a price per 100g!
The part where they hope you're too dumb to notice you're being analy gaped
$0.50 to get laid? I'm down
I think there is two l’s in anally gaped.
There's always a hidden L when dealing with galen
If I know anything from this subreddit it’s because the single can is probably expired 😂
2+2= purple
The logic isn't logic-ing.
*costs ˙◠˙
The 2.99 tag is “dead” (battery) therefore not updating to the new 3.99 price.
That would make sense if the expiry did not say March 20, 2024
Which means it’s on sale until that date and the DNO on the tag beside means discontinued.
No. The E on the tag means when the price is valid until. The DNO is on the two pack only. There is an E on all Sale price tags. It’s likely the 1 pack is on some sort of special but whoever input the price did not program it properly.
Yes do not order is on the $6.50 one…
If it rings in at 3.99 then the scanning code of practice comes into effect. Which makes the first one purchased free.
The 6.49 pack was probably sent in for a specific initiative and offered at a deal that would have been better than buying the individual can with a rebate for the store on units sold during that period. The deal is passed, and the store is no longer eligible for rebates on the 2pk to price it down. It's also not planogrammed so they just shoved it in there, and the individual units won't have a barcode so they can't bust open the pack. The store will have to take a loss on the remaining items, they simply haven't pulled the trigger on it, or they don't yet know it's there because the report of old inventory shows stuff that's a year or older.
You're like the youtubers that ruin magic tricks
They are probably in the process of raising the price. Always raise the price in the more expensive thing first.
I have seen this with a lot of products.
I always check when there are multiple sizes of the same product. Sometimes the brand name is cheaper than the no name.
It looks like it's two different products under the "satin care" Gillette line?
One is a "shave Prep" and the other is a shave Gel. I don't know any difference beyond that but enough to know that this is two different products that looks the same for some stupid reason.
Yup, Weston’s fortune I’m guessing
Imagine if this whole mess is because some dumb dumb at Head Office can’t do math?
the second pack is discontinued. they probably didn’t change its price
it's beginning to feel like the result of training an AI on how to optimize price gouging. It's not quite there yet, but soon...
The math ain't mathing
Ya, there’s more packaging.
I find this a lot actually and always do the math, same goes for the large sizes, as in a jug of something vs smaller sizes. Last week a large Pine Sol was 3 dollars more than 3 singles , same quantity. Shop somewhere else.
They're hoping you are lol
nah that’s galen math.
Twins, Basil. Twins.
Hey man, that shrink wrap ain't free!
happens all the time, people are idiots and will buy it, so they continue to sell it like that
This sub is for some seriously dumb people.
Care to elaborate?
