FED UP OF BEING LIED TO
I usually trust what I see in store flyers or the ads on tv, but lately Ive noticed that if a certain store has an ad for down pricing their products, it means they actually jack up the price!!!!
Ive noticed this 2 wks ago when I needed to buy laundry detergent. I went to this well knows large surface store but they were out of the brand I wanted. Since I really needed the detergent, I went to another store. Surprise, the detergent I usually buy at the other store, was $2. less!!!!
Ive been paying attention since and ……..yes, everytime this large corporation advertise its price going down, they actually go up!!!
Ive also noticed lately that quantity has been shrinking but not the packaging nor the price. I had to buy bleach. I used to buy the 3L bottle for 99 cent. Well, the size of the bottle is the same, but the quantity is much less and the price has gone up! grrrr!!
Also, why do they keep changing products? Toothpaste. I use toothpaste at least 3 times a day. I always use the same brand, so it would be fair to say that I DO know what it tastes like, right? Well lately, it just doesnt taste the same. Did they change the recipe to save money and forgot to let us know the cosumers???
Blankets, I buy small blankets for my dog. I buy them at the same store, same packaging, been buying them for 5 yrs now and last week, I get home, open the package to wash the blankets……..they are smaller?!?!?
Do companies think we’re stupid and wont notice whats going on? It gets me so angry that I return the product and refuse to buy it again.
And its the same with nearly everything lately.
One more thing that has me in a very bad mood. I use haircolour. Ive been using the same colour on and off for a while. Its still advertised on the company site, its even advertised on tv……….yet you cant find it in any stores or drugstores. I called the company, they said this colour wont be available anymore. So why have a new advertisement on tv and why have it on their site also???
Oh its a mistake the girl said. Well *&%$$& to you I say.
What is the matter with companies lately? Does anyone know?
