Anyone able to explain this please?

Went to Comet this afternoon to buy some DVD's to copy stuff too.

Box of 25 Memorex DVD+R = £12.99

Box of 50 Memorex DVD+R = £11.99

Don't get it.

Economies of scale?

I would suggest that the 50s were on a half price offer.
This very often happens where the larger quantity pack is promoted down to a price below that of the smaller quantity,

Always annoys me when I'm forced to "buy" something extra in order to get a discount.

I havent been in McDonalds for a while, but I remember a time when if you got a drink (even if you didn't want one) the burger and fries then constituted a "meal" and thus was cheaper than the first two individual items.

Happened to me in Boots a few weeks ago, a bought a sandwich and a drink but was told at the till that if I bought a small bag of carrots (or something else) the total cost would be cheaper.

I said I couldn't be bothered, but the bloke at the till was so insistent that he LEFT the till and went and got them.

Mr I....that's been their regular price for months now. I buy a box now and again in case they realise they've priced them incorrectly and they double the price.

staff may be on a bonus to 'upsell' combo meals, and it also makes turnover of individual units look better.

re pricing, methinks the shops get us accoustomed to larger packs, then will quietly remove he smaller items from sale- leaving only the larger packs, at whatever price they choose..

I wish retailers would simply sell us their goods, for a set price. No BOGOFs, no "Meal Deals"no "Loss Leader". Just sell the damn product for the price it is worth. Scrap loyalty cards, who is loyal these days? Just adjust your prices to a sustainable rate and let us decide who has the best products for the price.

yeah, i hate it when i get somthing cheaper

Brilliant - now I feel a lot better about all those DVDs you copied for me knowing that you got a good deal on them.

So you've got a bag of carrots you don;t want then??

Anyone remember the Oranjeboom Happy Hour at the County Ground a few seasons back?

£1 a pint.

Half a pint - £1.25. I was in the queue behind someone who INSISTED on a half.

Did you check the quality of each DVD pack?
Could it be the 50-pack was a lower recording quality?

Could be a stock clearance to shift the 50-packs before Xmas when they will ramp up the price on new stock.

Mind you someone in Comet might be in for a bollocking when they realise the 50-pack should actually be £21.99
