OTOH I was working for a major supplier of these products as recently as last May and I think your view is of what may have prevailed in years past.
If you're willing to go yellow sticker shopping, you can cook up healthy meals for next to nothing and freeze some for days you're busy...
The tax on whisky and other spirits is staggering. £8 on every 70cl bottle is duty. So how do shops make money selling famous gross for £12.None of that sounds right but you get the meaning I think. The hit is taken by the original supplier to the supermarket.
Another ploy is to place a massive order to get a larger discount and then when the top has been creamed off lower the price to a loss leader and then eventually cancel the remainder of the order but keep the discount. The supplier has been well and truly shafted. I was on the fringes of whisky sales in the wholesale market at one time and that did happen.
F-in-L always said, "If you spend enough, you can save a fortune".The M&S deal is now £12, you can still get a bargain, last one we bought would have been over £17
They make any profit on the first part of the order then the rest goes as a loss leader. As you say the profit on the cheaper whisky is minimal.The tax on whisky and other spirits is staggering. £8 on every 70cl bottle is duty. So how do shops make money selling famous gross for £12.
