How to camouflage price increases?

[Leo Maximus]

This morning I wanted to buy a molding from Mr Bricolage, I wanted to finish something and I was missing a meter.

I brought a piece of molding as a model with its barcode label and I noticed that this type of molding, same shape, same barcode, had ... shrunk The width went from 20 mm to 18 mm, the thickness from 11 mm to 9 mm suddenly it is unusable.

There is also a product that has grown a lot in recent years, it is bagged cement. There was the changeover to the euro and then the mandatory changeover from 50 kg to 35 kg thereafter, each time the price per kg increased significantly.

Leo the terror of the department heads !!! But you're right !!
If we were more vigilant ...

Now you can simply change your supplier ... it may not be voluntary ...

That must be it. I also thought it must have been a shrinking of the tool, the tungsten carbide is sensitive to humidity and the summer was very rainy . The price has also increased, it's probably also a mistake, IT is full of bugs. . The 25 mm cleats were actually 24 mm, there they went to 22 mm this is due to the introduction of the progressive metric system .

In the meantime, Mr Bricolage, a family business, is making record profits and investing massively abroad. (the echoes)

There used to be Bricomarché, competitive prices, qualified sellers, it's rare, the result: they went bankrupt.

Do not push guys ... The reality of the market is there for everyone!

The 35kg cement bag is not the masons who will complain about it. When you waste or move bags of cement all day, you are very happy that they weigh only 35kg even if you make more trips. Especially since it has been ten years since the bags have changed weight. I wonder if it is not rather for health reasons than to increase the prices.

Huh? Bankruptcy? Bricomarché is it the DIY stores of the InterMarché group?

Well, don't go bankrupt, I think ... there is one in Sedan, however the sellers are real balls !!

Yes, it is forbidden now to wear 50 Kg by a man. in the professional setting of course.
