Da grande fan di Kimberly Mikado, è davvero fastidioso vedere che sono un’altra vittima della restrizione. Prima avevano 20 biscotti, ora sono 16 e sempre allo stesso prezzo e talvolta di più a seconda di dove fai la spesa. I negozi ci stanno già derubando quando si tratta di cioccolata e fanno pagare € 2,30 – € 2,50 per una barretta Cadburys dicendo che non si può farci niente. Adesso ci fregano con i biscotti che non dovrebbero costare più di 1,50 euro. Perché i negozi non sono regolamentati più strettamente in Irlanda, se si riesce a farla franca con gli omicidi, ma è l’Irlanda quindi non sorprende. So che questa non è una priorità nella crisi del costo della vita, ma non possiamo nemmeno goderci un biscotto adesso senza sentirci fregati.

Capitalism is the reason the government can’t dictate the price of goods and services. Also the reason companies do their best to maximise profits over everything else.
You mean Jacob’s Mikado
95% of shops only raise prices when the cost price increases in my experience. You’ll always have the dickhead 5%. I worked for them too. As for shrinkflation, the product comes in the way it comes in. In most cases it’s the fellas in cadburys/Jacobs lining their pockets as opposed to any boss I ever had.
>Kimberly Mikado.
Prepare to have your mind blown my friend. Since a child you have believed that is the name of these biscuits right?
Well your biscuit life is a lie. The ad was “Kimberly **,** Mikado and Coconut creams.” With a comma!
It’s three separate biscuits. The photo you have posted is just Mikados and always has been!
These are Kimberley:

> Why aren’t shops regulated more tightly in Ireland
You want the government to regulate biscuit prices?
Which countries regulate the price of biscuits? Even the Russians got over that wheeze.
i was in dunnes last week and seen they were selling a single row of mikados for €1.50 now which got you 8 whole biscuits and I couldn’t even find any of the bigger packs or an empty space where they would be.
The only shocking thing to me is that you thought these were actually called Kimberly Mixados?
The bin.
Or the shop to buy a decent packet of biscuits.
Just don’t touch my purple snacks.
> biscuits that shouldn’t be more than €1.50
You’ve ran the numbers yourself I guess? What are the profit margins for Jacob’s at that price? What’s the shop’s margin?
Nor an Irish made product and the quality of the range has gone downhill sice they were made in Dublin. I used to enjoy Jacobs biscuits and the fact they were Irish was a bonus. But like everything theses days they are a shadow of the originals.
We called these something else entirely growing up lol
Capitalism will eat itself eventually. Well will all loose.
Called fanny delights in our house
Yeah, I noticed they raised the price to 3.50 at first, sales must have dropped because they are back at 2.50 but with four biscuits less. Haven’t bought them since
Have you seen the price of chocolate kimberleys aswell… Some shops are charging nearly €5… It’s a six pack!
me and coconut
What’s this now?
End state capitalism. Annual profits must be grow each year so logically they must sell you less product for the same € or preferably from their pov less product for a higher € price 😢
