This cheese normally is around $22,there was a ticket behind this one but I forgot to get a picture of it.
Cheese expiry is 18th and 24th (not that that matter but they will take it off the shelf before then)
Apparently the 7 at the end of a price indicated clearance at Costco or something like that, the highlighting also indicates this.
Not sure if at other stores.
I don't think Costco really do this in response to other shops, they just have their prices and do what they want - if something isn't selling they reduce it heavily and if it nears use-by and it's expensive they try and recoup costs.
Keep in mind this post is for 454g not 200g like Aldi, so $4.97 for more than double is very nice.
Costco may not have had a choice in this matter - if consumers are choosing Aldi cheese, then it makes sense that Costco are left with a lot more D'Affinois than expected. Then as you say, if it isn't selling, time to discount and recoup costs.
Nonetheless, it's definitely good value for money at this price!
French cheese?
Does it take a dive ?
This is awesome rich cheese, Usually on clearance when the product is nearing the product expiry date. Usually this type of product doesn't have a long shelf life.
Man that’s good cheese …. !
Went today at lunctime only to find it was back to full price. They had a lot of new stock with a used by of 31/07
That's disappointing, they must've thrown a lot out, what a waste!
