plastic bottle to 3,14 € liter and eco recharge to 5,78 € liter !!!

an increase of 84% !!!
In this case, the concentration is not the same, we cannot directly compare the prices per liter ...

The bottle is given for 36 detergents while the refill is given for 21 detergents ...
The price "per wash" is therefore 34,5 cts for the bottle and 40 cts for the refill.

The scam is only 16% : Evil:

Seen Gaston.

a) regular ariel = 0.11 L / Laundry = 0.35 €
b) concentrated eco-refill = 0.07 L / Detergent = 0.40 €

Except that, flat and size: you think we have fun measuring to the nearest cl when we pour the product? Especially since I think the ariel user is convinced that it is the same product so he uses it the same! So in my opinion, this is an even more subtle and treacherous scam because Ariel could protect herself behind this guarantee of higher concentration!

You have noticed?
All ecological detergents are much cheaper (even brought back to the detergent !!!)

c) Green tree: 0.2 € / Detergent (ecorecharge is the same product in this case! no trickery). The amount per detergent is 0.075 L, so as concentrated as the concentrated ariel!
d) Auchan eco: 0.24 € / Laundry


Using concentrated ariel is 2 times more expensive than green trees !! I'm not talking about the cost of pollution for society and nature !!

If people knew how to look at prices ... the world would be better ...

If manufacturers did not seek all the means to prevent price comparisons by circumventing regulations ...

This story of "variable" concentration of detergents, it has happened since supermarkets are obliged to also display the price per liter. : Twisted:

Yes, but with the single display (ca date of early 90's it seems to me ... or Rocard I know more ...) there is no more excuse if?

For laundry, the laundry price should be displayed! An update should perhaps be done ... +1 with gaston, it's treacherous diversion!

But it still has to be good: to use the bad example of sedan's casino, it is nonsense. Lack of labeling and false calculation of the wholesale price are legion ...

After :

Here is the Orangina at Leclerc. In 2 liters it is 0,99 € per liter and in 1,5 liters it is 0,97 € per liter:

The most expensive Orangina per liter is marked "Orangina Standard"! :D Well ...

Note that this is not the case at Coca-Cola where the price per liter in a 2 liter bottle is lower than in a 1,5 liter bottle. :?: (It's not advertising for Coke, it's just an observation).

Yesterday I saw a new type of price scam or at least price per kg display abuse ...

Certain canned products (small weights, corn, mushrooms ...) are given at the price per kg in drained net weight and others not!

Concrete example at the Casino:

Paris Casino organic mushrooms in a 400g box are displayed at the same price per kg (because kg price is not drained) as non-organic Paris Casino mushrooms in a 800g box ... but these are drained prices ....

What to be ... drained! : Cheesy:

I still took organic! : Cheesy:

I had no camera damage ... and did not go to moan, I would think about it next time ...
