We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile, a single box of the same tea, which we’ll have to get in the mean time, is $20. Yes, a single box is less per box than a 3-count box order, but you still save if you buy 6 boxes. How does any of that make sense?
They change prices per-customer to see how much they can get you to pay. It’s obviously maddening because you don’t want to ever order at the high rate, so there are times I just don’t buy things and wait. I had a similar experience with biscuit mix.
The price hasn’t changed in ages though. And the last time it did it was maybe by $5. This is a 100% change!
Right. It’s obviously not a “real” change in price, it’s some bullshit.
