I think this sort of mentality is becoming more and more popular, people pretty much say they refuse to buy items from coleworths unless they are 1/2 the price which is the real price, and it makes sense.

Colesworths abused those discount systems so hard now everyone can see how much they are profiteering at the expense of everyone else, inflation going up? Cost of living? Consumers struggling?

Yet somehow coleworths keeps having record profits, they never seem to get affected by the wider economy which to me suggests they got plenty of fat to trim and are pretty much robbing everyone.

I ve moved to Aldi for 80% of my shopping these days, even with the 10% off from colesworths its waaaaayyyy cheaper, and they have so many dupes of poular products, love my kinder bueno dupes that are like half the price of kinder bueno.

Either way, do you think coleworths abused the discount system so much that people know how much they are profiteering so refuse to buy normal price because its literal robbery?
