Possibly, but let me share a story: in the days after the discounts were announced the Whole Foods brand organic butter was completely sold out at my local store, much to my annoyance. That never happened before the 50 cent discount.
- londons_explore 9y agoSome produce deals don't have much volume flexibility. A typical deal might look like: Buy 1k units for $0.20 each with an option to buy 200 additional units for $0.40 each. If sales are above 1200 units, the shop likley can't get hold of any at any price.
- simonh 9y agoSo it appears masses of shoppers went into Wholefoods to take advantage of price cuts, but couldn't because those items had sold out. But since they were there anyway.... Great way to draw in the crowds without actually losing all that much from the price cuts.
