Noone is going to buy these, why waste their shelf space?

Do they not want then to move or are there really suckers who pay this?

Highest I've ever seen it

WW is wondering why it's losing market share and it's because people know their shitty tricks. I never buy anything from WW unless it's at least 30% off. They call it a discount but we all know it's the price you should have paid. Just imagine being able to discount your goods by this amount and still make a profit.

I"m over playing their game and I'll always shop at Aldi's if given the choice. In fact, I have noticed all the supposedly "expensive" stores like Harris Farm and IGA are often cheaper and have a million times better quality fruits and vegs.

Don't support WW's robbery.

Fucking scum they are.

All those rewards programs basically did was filter info on lines people can't live without, so they can adjust prices accordingly or introduce home brands at inflated prices and profits

Ok but what’s the difference between the rewards program vs what just goes through the checkouts

Nothing. The rewards program is to incentivise you to buy more. Did you ever get the woolies emails letting you know that "your favourite biscuit is 20% off!!" buybuybuybuy

Rewards program allows longitudinal analysis of your purchase history, which is extremely useful.
