It’s a curious thing! Melbourne biggest newspaper has advertised, in both print and on-line, what appears to be a fairly decent deal for their highly valued subscribers. It’s only when you look a little closer when you realise that the “discount” isn’t really much chop.
What appears to be a $5.05 discount off the RRP of $35.00 (bringing it down to $29.95) is very quickly diluted by the $4.95 postage and handling fee bringing it to a grand total of the marvellously discounted price of $34.90. And not only that, but you get the added benefit of waiting 10 working days to receive it!
Wooohoooo! Thanks a bunch all you wonderful marketing staff at The Age. I shall take my 10 cents and go and buy a bag of lollies (well at least 2 strawberry creams at any rate!)
