While in the supermarket today I did my usual price comparison to see if there were any new deals to be found. I decided to look at the sardines as there was usually a brand that costs about 67 cents per can. However, I was surprised when I saw that the price was labelled as over $1. Upon further inspection though, I realized it was actually a different product and brand. Take a look at the two labels of these:
From what I gathered, it seemed like one is from China and the other is from the Philippines along with different ingredients. Unless these are like subsidiaries of the same company it’s kind of amazing on how companies can brand its products to be so identical. That’s one reason to stay updated with your prices. If there is all of a sudden a huge price discrepancy from what you are familiar with then it usually means something must be different.
