I went to Lucky's to check out their pricing. There's this odd phenomenon where they sometimes come close to matching Safeway's pricing.

Collusion?

A 20 fl oz Mountain Dew is $3.29 there, but if you buy 2, you get them for $2.25 each, which is probably close to the REAL pricing for the product.

At least their 2 litter is more expensive at $3.99 (which seems high!), but is $2.50 if you buy 2.

What's with the multiple/combo buys?!

It amazes me 7-Eleven is STILL cheaper if you simply buy a single bottle.

By the way, the Lucky's checker reminded me that you need to use the mobile app to achieve additional savings. Shades of Safeway.

Basically you have to jump through hoops for savings.

I'm going to need to perform a Target run to see what they're charging. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to shop there more often.

I'm also wondering if prices are creeping up in groceries in general.

For some reason, I'm an expensive product in the 16oz size

I noticed something when I was at the store yesterday to pick up one item. I thought about picking up a 20 fl oz Mountain Dew as well, which Safeway is selling for $3.49. What?!

If you buy a 2 liter bottle, a larger size of Mountain Drew at Safeway, it's $3.29, or .20 cheaper. How is that possible?

If you buy a 20 fl oz Mountain Dew at 7-Eleven, typically the most expensive way to buy anything, it's $2.69

Safeway is price gouging.

You could shop at 7-Eleven and save money 🤔

I've said this before, don't buy beverages of any kind at Safeway.

I recently cancelled my Discovery+ subscription after they increased their monthly subscription fee from £6.99 to £30.99 (yes, you read that right).

They have sent me an email me asking me to fill in a survey to let them know why I cancelled.

But the link to the survey didn't work.

Oh no! How are they ever going to figure out why people are cancelling their subscriptions now! I guess it will forever have to remain a mystery to them.
