I just got back from doing my monthly grocery shopping at the Brightwater Commons PnP. I have been going there for the past 3 months for my groceries and haven't had any issues.
2 months ago I bought 800g Sea Harvest fish fingers and last month I bought 360g I&J Lemon fish bakes. I again purchased both of these products this month, but noticed that there was no price on the shelves for either of them. I already had frozen products in my trolley and didnt have time to try and figure out what the prices were (poor service I feel, it shouldn't be my responsibility anyway). I did notice that almost all the other similar products did have prices on.
When I got home and compared the prices, I found that the fish bakes had gone up by R7 in one month (43% increase!!??), and the fish fingers by R17 in 2 months (57% increase!!??). How the does PnP price their products!?
What really makes my blood boil is the fact that it seems too convenient for the prices not to have been displayed, and the only logical conclusion is that this was done on purpose in order to deceive customers! If this is the way that PnP does business, perhaps it's time for me to make the "smart choice" and change!!
