A little bit of my 2c ( based on what i have seen ) of price match wars between giants. ( may be slightly off topic )
From what i have noticed, (atleast for small purchases upto $50-$100) bunnings does exclusive brands and stocks which cannot be found with any other competition whatsoever.
so for example if there were only 2 paint companies in the world, A & B , bunnings wont stock either. It will have a new brand "C" which is its own inhouse budget type brand, which is probably made by one of those 2 companies A or B .
Now the problem with this one is, it may be cheaper , it may be 2x expensive, one wouldnt know unless you take the time and effort to actually do price matching.
And from what i have seen, a good majority of people usually go price shopping for big ticket items.
Looks like it definitely is working for bunnings !
If at one place A product costs 400 (they offer to beat price by 15% for same products sold by others), and at another place B - price is 360.
So I hope place A will beat price B by 15% - so price will be 15% of 360 = 54, which makes final price at A 360-54= 306, right? or they calculate 15% of different between B and A (40) so they will offer additional 6 as discount? and price will be 360 - 6 = 354?
Dulouz: BTW - Your new lawn mower has a steel deck so you need to keep it pretty clean to stop it from rusting. Alloy deck lawn mowers are a lot easier to maintain.
That advice probably came about 5 years too late, haha.
if they're doing that they should advertise that they'll beat the price difference by a percentage, not beat the price by a percentage.
If they're talking about the price, they should be applying the advertised discount to the price. Otherwise they need to make the price difference the context.
