I am preparing for an 8 day motorcycle ride through the Baviaanskloof and The Hel. I have spent about R8000 on various bits and pieces at Outdoor Warehouse over the past few months. I found handy little blue dispensers of soap, laundry, and shampoo last week at R 24.95 ea, great when you need to save space. Imagine my suprise when I found the same stuff at Dischem for only R5.99!
If Dischem make 40% GP then you are left with a cost of R3.15 ea excl. At Outdoor Warehouse's price they are adding a 695% mark up!!!
I am all for making a profit but 695% MARK UP! That is simple corporate greed. Needless to say I will avoid O.W. from now on.
