the error in judgement here is that you assume K-Mart is profiting off of anything at all

Sheep-Goats posted:My Brit friend in Bangkok said standard retail markup is around 2x what you paid unless you were talking luxury items or jewelry or something then it's 4x In booze retail is about 5x what the distributor sells for in the US, don't really know how well that translates to off-label groceries though. Also yeah K-Mart is an idiot garbage fire of a company that only exists because Sears Holding owns all the leases.

Sometimes when I want soda I go for Nehi! which is a 99 cent big bottle of it. Most of the other brands are like 2-3 dollars. poo poo tastes the exact same and is just as good but cheaper.

Wine is a huge market in australia and theres huge money being made taking 'cleanskin' wine that would normally sell for $3 retail and putting it in a really fun distinctive label and then selling it at $15. Big retail liquor in australia started doing this and sales have remained normal but profit went through the roof.

If you are an australian and you drink wine only ever buy things that are from a real winery when you are in BWS/Dans/First choice/ Coles liquor otherwise you are getting duped

Aluminum is cheap as poo poo, and anyone who has worked fast food can tell you that fountain drinks are 99% profit. The Kroger store brand had 12 packs of knockoff soda for 3 for $5.

Isaac posted:retail is all about getting people in the door and spending as much time as possible inside the store. Plenty of items are "Loss leaders" meaning you sell them at a loss to make people come to your store instead of the other guys store. I doubt any of their store brand items are being sold at a loss. Soda is insanely cheap to make, and the knockoff store brands are even more so.

There was a thread about this stuff a while back where a goon who works in the industry said a lot of the generic soda is literally just name brand soda with the ingredient knobs fiddled with randomly by around 5-10%. Same factory, same ingredients, just twiddled knobs.

Same factory, same ingredients, just twiddled knobs. A lot of products are like this. A factory gets lots of contracts for say napkins or diapers and they're all made on the same machine. The only differences are the raw materials and labels.

Especially soda though since it's made regionally and a lot of bottlers are these weird quasi-independent companies separate from the national brand. You even have rogue companies like the Dublin Dr pepper co that used to make their own version with sugar instead of hfcs
