If, and only if, the cheapest packages are an old lot and the prices have since increased, it is quite possible to come across a worthless "promotional" offer as long as the previous stock is not finished.
Logic not?

Now maybe you prefer the store to remove the old lot (not cool for people who are looking for the lowest price) or worse than the price of the old lot to be raised above the new one? :|

According to the bar code, it may well be the first to come from France
and the new one from the Netherlands, well, I'm not a specialist in bar codes either :?

For Leclerc spring water there is no "economical" mark but in 5 liters it is more expensive per liter than in 1,5 liters : Shock: . It is a common practice. An exception: Coca-Cola, (we are for or against but that's not the point), in 2 liters is € 0,80 per liter, in 1,5 liters it is € 0,87 per liter at Intermarché but it is always cheaper per liter in 2 liters.

It's everywhere like that, example Bricoman

I think about it: we should pass the mail made to journalists to the INC and UFC that choose no?

Does anyone have internal contact? (they must have so many requests that if I use their contact form it might end up in the trash ...)

I have no contact in consumer associations, and the journalists you have contacted do not seem to be interested ...

Well, I don't know if they're not interested, what are you basing on to say that?

If it is the absence of reporting on the news, I think it takes some time to conduct the investigation ... obviously the editor must validate the idea.

I will try to find a contact email for UFC and INC / 60 million consumers.

No that's not it. I wouldn't blame them for investigating a minimum :D
On the other hand, and rightly, wouldn't they need to contact the people confronted with these manipulations to save time?

Well I think it's still quite easy to check for themselves ...

So no I don't think they are interested in contacting us ... then don't come back, we won't see our names during the report ... : Cheesy:

: Lol: That's not what i look for : Lol:
By cons, I assumed (but it's wrong) that it did not apply to all stores. So I thought knowing their locations was interesting.
