Mrs sent me to do the shopping regularly… and yes, Coles is the closest.
Sure, I go to the local fruitshop (better quality for similar price), Aldi (for some stuff) but Coles is also in the list of regular places to visit.
Now, it occurred to me as i was scanning items through the self checkout that the western star spreadable butter was $5.50 or $5.70 or so… and I noticed the tag with the red hand was gone. Did a bit of digging, and my suspicions were confirmed shows that this butter was $5 EVERY DAY.
I understand the butter prices have gone up… but should Coles be held to its own promises?
Coles shouldn't be allowed to advertise something as $5 "every day" one week then switch to $5.70 the next. If they want to increase the price, they should remove the "every day" label while keeping the $5 price for a month or so before increasing the price. Hard to tell which approach they took as the catalogue linked is from June 2016.
