Pharmacies And Supermarkets Are Riping Nigerians Off by SteveDGreat(op): 5:03pm On May 10, 2022
There is something we ain't paying attention in this country and is high time we started paying attention to it.
The activities of Supermarkets and Pharmacies Stores .
These two outlets can just wake up and fix the price of their products as they will and no one will question them. Who even price goods when buying from them.

I went to a Pharmacy one day to buy drugs, I was told is 2k (can't remember the name of that drugs). I decided to check another pharmacy, I got it for 1500. Same product and company name .

Now, the reason for this post . This paste here is my favourite. Stumbled upon it when I went to buy Long Rich paste as recommended And it wasn't available. I ended up getting this and it became my favourite. This was in 2020. I first bought it for 550 at Everyday Supermarket.
Well along the line, the price changed. The last time I bought it in January was N1100 same Everyday.
On Sunday I went to another Supermarket and asked for this same product, guess how much I bought it, N655 each. Omoh I bought Two before they will change their mind .

I am sure there are many products out there with different price tags. We buy and leave.
How many times do we even question the price at those supermarkets and Pharmacies

Yeah they are. That is why sometimes it is good to get a second opinion and patronize the local shops who don't pay exorbitantly for rent for some certain products.

But for health's sake, please patronize only top pharmacies and supermarkets for drugs and wines. There is alot of counterfeit going on. The counterfeiters usually sell these items to the smaller shops.

After checking your coupon, I expected the OP to be a female with a female moniker but still wondering how 500ml Shampoo and Body Scrub got into your invoice?
There is something else you are telling us and we are part of this problem
grin cool
