SOUTH AFRICANS REACT TO R9.99 BREAD PRICE
@Modise_Phumo: “Did you check the expiry date? Sunbake was selling their brown bread for R8.99 and their white bread for R9.99 becsuse it was nearing its expiry date.”
@lenyasalaafrica: “Best before not necessarily an expiring date. But even in this case it’s the same. The date is tomorrow.”
@Modise_Phumo: “Yes. Thank you Lenyasa I meant to say best before. I bought 6 loaves of brown sunbake bread on the 10th of July best before was on the 11th of July. It was sold for R8.99 It was like I was in heaven buying bread for R8.99.”
@moloto_makgabo: “Give the young girl the whole packet of storks sweets.”
@LegendNickC: “Nice but this reduces her profits also if she was to get some kind of percentage of sales.”
@sandile07597191: “There is nothing wrong with the expiry date. Albany is under pressure guys. The princess trend left them with a huge dilemma and they are running out of time. They need to quickly subscribe to the trend while calculating risks to their business and stakeholders.”
