Re: Dunnes Stores Sneaky alterations: price quantity quality.
I don't get it?
What is wrong with Dunnes Stores changing a price upwards or downwards?

Re: Dunnes Stores Sneaky alterations: price quantity quality.
Nothing wrong with them:
increasing price upward or downward
increasing the quantity in a pack upward or downward
increasing the quality of a product upward or downward
...but since they incessantly trumpet price decreases I would like to higlight such alterations especially as such alterations are not entirely obvious to the ordinary consumer!

Looks like Dunnes are really feeling the pinch. I was buying a bag of Cuisine De France doughnuts in my local branch today and the assistant told me that they weren't allowed put sugar on them any more 
It seems the caster sugar was bought out of petty cash and she had been told this was no longer allowed.
On a different note it seems that they are discontinuing the 22 cent plastic carrier bag once stock runs out in favour of the reusable type. No harm in that but customer in front of me was less than happy.

The guy at the checkout at my local dunnes tells me that Dunnes are having some kind of dispute with the government/revenue and are not replacing the 22 c ones once they run out.
M&S offer a fine reusable one for 44c and say they will replace it for free if it gets damaged!
Just as well - they had got smaller & flimsier recently.
Some items are on the increase. Been keeping tabs on my groceries this last yr and saw them decrease.
Have noticed that since Dec a no of items that I'd buy weekly/monthly or even bi-monthly have increased - that said a few items I'd buy less often have decreased since say the summer but I'd say for the most part things are on the way up again.
