Re: Pots
no no, wasn't going to suggest that we import ourselves. just saying that those people who do import could do a better deal now, but they're probably just laughing and making extra money off us. they're always keen to justify price rises blaming things like exchange rates etc but i don't think price decreases ever come voluntarily...

The thing about suppliers is they have to balance out costs across their whole range. For Booker to sell the pringles at the offer price they put extra on the price when they're not on offer, to compensate for the fact they lose revenue during offer periods. For the two main suppliers we have, they have to balance out their margins based on volume of sales and cost from suppliers. The problem with things like interest rates is they fluctuate from month to month, so prices would be constantly move up and down by a pound or two. This would mean when prices went down by a couple of pound we would all rush to stock up and they wouldn't be able to supply us all, which would in turn damage their business. Similar to the empty shelves of pringles at Makro when they put big offers on, some of us fail to get the benefit due to people stock piling.
I think we all know what their products are worth, and if they try it on too much people will look for cheaper alternatives, and they will end up with no business.
