1369953 2014-03-11 04:01:00 That's what I thought when I saw it on the new last nite. Just halve the price and the ******s would sell it.

Don't you just love this board with it's super PC language police.

1369955 2014-03-11 04:48:00 I hardly ever bought anything from that lot, but now I will be sure to never buy anything from them again. This along with the other recent fiasco, they deserve a good loss of customers. Agent_24 (57)

1369957 2014-03-11 19:06:00 You know, it's not just Countdown doing this pricing stuff with suppliers.

So does places like Warehouse, Briscoes etc......and not just on food. My son worked at a suppliers and discovered that years ago....

I do notice Countdown often have smoked (re-packaged in those sealed plastic things) fish available - it's made from what they didn't sell - like Tarakihi. Tarakihi isn't normally smoked in the first place....How much does Pak n Save and New World waste?

Do they have a Salvation Army donation scheme like Countdown?

And while the waste of fish is sickening, I don't understand the recreational fishers complaint. So Snapper has been cut from 9 fish to 7 allowed.

I can't imagine eating 7 snapper....and who wants to freeze it?

1369958 2014-03-12 20:43:00 And yet it's much the same price at Pack n Slave. Because they're *so* much better of course. People are villifying Countdown because of this whole Aus Made / NZ Made fiasco, when most of the major chains, food and non, as pctek points out, have similar tactics. inphinity (7274)
