My Experience with Chemist Warehouse Price Match
I recently visited Chemist Warehouse and attempted a price match on Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste Pro-relief Multi Protection 110g, which was priced at $5.50 at Woolies and $6.39 at Chemist Warehouse.
Upon inquiry, I discovered that the system doesn't perform a direct price match but offers a 15% discount off the original price. Chemist Warehouse's policy, however, claims to match and beat competitor prices by 10%.
CW pricematch policy - https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/aboutus/why-shop-with-us
The total amount after the discount was $16.23 for 3, making each toothpaste $5.41. This led me to question whether a 10% reduction on the original $5.50 would indeed result in $0.55.

I'm sharing this experience because if it's happening to me, it could be affecting others too. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation with Chemist Warehouse's price match policy?
Thanks.
$6.39 - $5.50 = $0.89
$0.89 * 0.1 = $0.089
$5.50 - $0.089 = $5.411
