Isle Of Custard Anniversary coming up

[esuxa]

Ok, so I just realised that the Isle Of Custard is going to turn a year old on the 23rd January. They are introducing a new flavour apparently.

I am no way affiliated with Isle Of Custard just love their juices

Just got their email.

100ml bottles are going up to £26 (from £23.50). Right before the birthday 25% voucher kicks in. So basically for a few days the prices will be what they were before the price rise when you use the voucher code. And they get to say 'look at us offering a big discount!!'

Sorry but I genuinely dislike when vendors do that. Announce a big event, new custard, big discount......but first we'll bump up the prices.

They did this a while back, I remember a bit of a kick off one vendors day. On the days leading up to vendors day they had 20% discount code.

The morning of vendors day they upped their prices a few £ and changed the discount to 10%. I found that shoddy so didn't bung in my usual vendors day order with them.

Just to be clear I'm not against price rises, companies have to make money that's not my issue at all. I just get annoyed when companies announce a big promotion and discount etc etc and stick prices up before hand (you know like Argos always bump prices up just before they're on sale so they can then sell them at the price they were whilst saying its a sale).

The post on FB did not mention any price increase when I posted this thread. I too get annoyed when vendors pull that crap too.

I had no idea

No neither did I until I got the email!

They've still not mentioned it on their FB page as far as I can see.

As I said, it's not the price rise I have issue with it's the shoddy way in which they've done it (yet again). Up the prices right before very kindly offering a 'spectacular' discount to take the price down to what it was before the price rise.

After all the hype when they first came out...i bought every flavour they had. And thought every flavour was so weak in flavour.

So on that note... im out lol

the hype starts with the admins and there freebies

I have to admit the flavours I've bought I have enjoyed. But I've not bought any I've not tried first (my friend for a sample pack and I bought after tying hers!).

My favourite was their plain vanilla custard but it was (at the time) £10 more than daredevils and not £10 nicer.

I think at £26 plus p&p for 100ml they're now quite expensive. So even if I wasn't put off by the shoddy way they've gone about price rises I'd not be buying anyway.

Or am I just super cheap in refusing to pay more than £20 for 100ml?
