Writes Samuel: ‘Would someone like to try their hardest to justify the price difference and the $175kg for birdseye chilli?’
He adds: ‘It's plain robbery at that price. $147kg for that packaging 😂’
Speaking to New Idea Food, a Coles spokesperson explained that a range of factors went into the enormous ticket price.
‘There is customer demand for prepacked chillies and the additional labour and packaging requirements means that they come at an additional cost,’ the spokesperson.
‘We will continue to offer customers a choice between loose and pre packed chillies.’
However when a Coles representative spoke of the various factors - ‘transportation costs, manufacturing changes and stock availability’ - to Samuel, he wasn’t convinced.
‘$148kg for all those "factors" 😂 you're killing me. Nice try 😕’ he said.
