1 bottle for $1, 2 for $3.90?

Often, when a retailer has a promotion, it could attempt to get you to purchase extra by providing a larger low cost the extra you purchase.

So Stomper Kieren was amused when he noticed the sudden pricing of Pokka jasmine inexperienced tea in a 7-Eleven outlet close to the Yew Tee MRT station final month.

The photographs he shared confirmed that the inexperienced tea bottles on the highest rack have been priced at $1 every whereas those on a decrease rack have been priced at $3.90 for 2, which works out to be $1.95 per bottle, nearly double the opposite worth.

“Like that, I purchase a bottle individually is cheaper,” stated the Stomper. “Humorous 7-Eleven pricing.”

Wait, you could interject, maybe the bottles have been completely different sizes.

No, they have been all 500ml.

However for those who learn the wonderful print, the $1 deal was solely until Nov 8 whereas the $3.90-for-two deal was from Nov 9 to 22.

So possibly the 2 costs have been exhibited to get you to purchase the Pokka inexperienced tea ahead of later earlier than Nov 9.

Though $3.90 for 2 was not as nice a deal, it was nonetheless higher than the standard worth of $2.50 per bottle.

Stomp has contacted 7-Eleven for more information.
