On the other hand, the N.Z. dollar has now come back a fair bit making imports more expensive, customers now face higher mortgage rates and the economy is being impacted by a massive slide in Dairy prices.
That and the relentless increase in online trading, is this as good as it gets and are they expensive on a PE basis for a retailer ????? I was in one of their stores last week and walked out underwhelmed and gobsmacked at the price they wanted for a 2 pack of genuine Oral B toothbrush heads ($27.95). They didn't have a four pack which my wife usually gets at the supermarket for the same price. I walked out in disgust as a matter of principle..these things are probably made under licence in China for 2 or 3 cents each.
Came home, jumped on Trade me and ordered a 2 x 4 packs of the generic copy toothbrush heads for $6 including delivery. 75 cents per toothbrush head instead of $14.00.
To add insult to injury I was in Harvey Norman later in the week and noticed four packs of genuine Oral B toothbrush heads for $17.95 which appeared to be their regular price.
And just to prove that's not an anomoly here's Noel Leemings price for the identical product

Makes me wonder if all those Briscoes sales they have every 2 minutes are nothing but a great big price CON because even at 30% off you're paying through the nose and then some. I wonder if BGR is code or acronym for Burglar ?
Next time I want anything in the way of product lines that Briscoes sells I'm going straight on Trade Me, saving time, money and petrol
