Aldi shocks customers: Waffle leaves now 100 percent more expensive!
In an unexpected train, Aldi Nord causes excitement among his customers. A popular product, the biscotto waffle leaves, has drastically expensive overnight without the price actually changed. This has put the Hamburg consumer center on the list of "Mogel packs of the month".
The biscotto waffle leaves that are offered in the flavors of dark and whole milk in the flavors have so far been in a 200 gram pack for 1.99 euros. Now you can only find 100 grams of the same treat at the same price - an increase in the price by fabulous 100 percent. This tactic, known as "packaging manipulation", has triggered concern for consumers.
unexpected price increase through quantity reduction
Consumers now have to pay twice as much for the same amount of money, even if the price remains the same at first glance. According to reports from the consumer advice center, it is not a special campaign for price reduction, but rather a skillful, albeit misleading, strategies to bind customers to the supermarket shopping. Despite the discount names, the price increase for consumers remains clearly noticeable.
There are also reports of a pudding from a classic supermarket, the new design of which mask the price increase of 21 percent. Such tactics are not new, but the continuous use of these methods causes resentment among customers.
defense by Aldi
On request, Aldi declared his decision to offer the biscotto waffle leaves in the new, smaller packaging with the increasing costs for cocoa. The discounter emphasizes that its waffles consist of 82 percent of chocolate and describes the increase as inevitable in view of the severely increased raw material prices.The Hamburg Consumer Center emphasizes that such price increases, especially for discounters, are rare. In the 20 years of the Mogel packing list, price increases in this form are almost unknown. This could be an alarming sign for consumers, since it indicates that not only branded products are affected by price increases, but also discounters.
customers are asked to be aware of future purchases and become aware of the price structures so as not to fall into the trap of "foggy packs". These developments mean that consumers have to ask more questions when shopping in supermarkets.
