300% Profit??

<p>In this day and age where the economy is not what it used to be and everyone should save, especially in January and with neccesary stuff like school - ware for the kids that the schools MUST have it's really sad seeing some companies abusing us by mark-up prices.</p> <p> </p> <p>On this weekend we needed the triangle pencils - thick cind for our three-year-old's school because that was the specific requirement from the creche. We couldn't find a packet of 12 and went to CNA - Riversquare - Vereeniging where we paid R84-00 for a packet of 12 colours. On the next day visiting Pick n Pay Betworthpark - Vanderbijlpark the exact same pencils was available for R35-00. </p> <p> </p> <p>CNA: Really?? Markup by almost three times?? At pick n pay there was a guy with the "Bic" clothes on representing the BIC product - which we purchased - and even he couldn't believe the difference in price. Pick n pay even have a special whereabout if you purchase the sunday times, any bic product is free.</p> <p> </p> <p>How much money do CNA want to make out of desperate parents that struggle, like everyone else, in January with school stuff.</p> <p> </p> <p>It's disgusting to say the least!</p>
