I’ve been having quite a few of my groceries delivered due to COVID-19.
I live in an expensive area and I’m used to overpriced goods, however, the final grocery store price on this item seemed over the top.
I ordered one chicken and Monterey jack quesadilla probably between $6 to $8 in price. Unfortunately, the grocery store was out of single serve items, so they substituted a family pack which contained three quesadillas.
Not happy but that was still OK with me. It was priced at $15 which I thought was slightly expensive for the family item.
Deli Item with a Surcharge
Upon checking my receipt, I was charged an extra $2.29 surcharge on this item bringing my total for one item to $17.29.
I contacted my grocery delivery service about this, and they stated retailers set the price of items available on the platform. Some retailers offer the same in-store prices and others set higher prices on their platforms.
We’ll I guess I’ll be checking out other stores which offer the same in-store prices. In the meantime, my grocery spending dollars will go elsewhere.
It’s always makes good money sense to comparison shop for the the best deals.
Overcharge of the Week?
Disinfecting Wipes, 75-Count
I was totally out of disinfecting wet wipes and could not get them anywhere for any price.
I located one source online for disinfecting wipes.
This canister was $14.95 for 75 wet wipes and that included the mailing costs.
Expensive, yes, but I was glad to have some on hand again.
