    The price is insane, is this store on top of a volcano and goods need to be transported via helicopter?

    I’ve cut so many products out of my life in the past few years. They used Covid as an excuse to price gauge and they just never stopped. They’ll keep creeping the price up until sales start to decline then they’ll settle there… for awhile.

    Your not paying for the contents anymore. It’s shipping, packaging, advertising and CEO’s expenses your paying for.

    So don’t buy it. If you buy it, you’re telling the store you’re willing to pay that price. Go somewhere else or buy something else. Don’t encourage them.

    Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it’ll taste 10x better.

      What are you making your tea out of if it costs €0.50? Gold or something?

    I paid 8 Euros for 1L of Coke in Germany 15 years ago. To be fair that was at Oktoberfest… I think the beer was the same price.

    I agree though, too expensive for day to day consumption.

      Good. This liquid sugar shouldn’t be part of anyone’s day to day consumption. Occasional treat? Sure! But no more than that.

    1.25L for €4.95? Wow… $5.41 US. 42.268 fluid ounces, so $0.128 per ounce? Yeesh!

    Here you can get a 12 pack of 16 ounce bottles for just under $7. $0.033 per ounce.
