This is not really a legal question, but I'll ask here anyway.

When a supermarket has an item on special at a reduced price, who takes the loss?

Is it the supermarket chain or the manufacturer of the product?

The main reason supermarkets put items on special is that they are
overstocked with the product and want to move it off their shelves.

There is no loss.

Bullshit. Most stuff is on special periodically and some of us only
buy it when it is on special and buy enough to last till the next time.

What a waste of time. You just buy whatever you want whenever you feel
like it.

No time involved at all.

Only fools are that stupid. There's a reason you are still a renter
and can't even afford to rent a house.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof

Routine. If you live close to the supermarket visit it 3 times a week
and case the shelves. There's always something on special either to
clear stock or stuff close to the use-by date. Load up and
store/freeze.

Makes more sense to check the catalog online on Wednesday
when a new one comes out and add the specials you need to
the shopping list and even get real radical and have it
delivered for less than it costs to drive to the supermarket.

There is far more in the weekly catalog on special.

> Load up and store/freeze.

I do that anyway so its always available at home.

I live 5min walk from 2 supermarkets, so it's no trouble.
But I'll check the catalogues...
2 weeks ago a whole fried hot chook was $10, now it's $13!!!!

Still a waste of my time and very little of what I eat gets close
to its useby date in a supermarket. Just a few of the ready meals.

> But I'll check the catalogues...

Yeah, I used to buy legs of lamb at $9.90
on special now its $13.50 on special.

I used to get the icebert lettuce at about $1
Some are currently stupid enough to pay $10

Well someone winds up with fewer dollars per item sold.

I was wondering whether the manufacturer is prepared to sell for a lower price in order to have their product featured in the supermarket's advertising.

For example if Pepsi is on special, surely coke sales decline?

Not necessarily if the customer buys more stuff due to specials.

That is what appears to be happening but it isn't just to
get rid of excess stock or stock that is close to its useby
date, it appears to also be the manufacturers choosing
to operate that way as well.

> For example if Pepsi is on special, surely coke sales decline?

Not really, most don't drink them interchangeably,
they mostly stick to the brand they like.

** Advertised "specials" are a marketing strategy intended to increase overall sales.
They act as bait to get customers through the door.
Come in to pick up the special/s and end up doing the week's shopping there as well.

I actually own but I live in an area with only apartments because it is
close to my work.

There is no need to scrimp and save on supermarket shopping.

You would save probably a few hundred dollars a year doing that. It
makes no difference.

No such animal.

No scrimping and saving involved, just buy the stuff
I choose to eat and consume at the best prices, stupid.

Lot more than that given that I hardly ever buy anything at other than the
specials price.

You probably have loads of stuff in your cupboards and freezers because
you buy so many specials.

Then you would end up chucking a lot of it out, thereby losing the money
you saved.

Nope, only the beer brewing stuff because I normally

makes a lot of sense to buy that stuff at the best price.

Nope, I only buy enough to last until the next special.

It is surprisingly easy to predict when the next one will roughly be.

Sometimes items on special are more expensive than a competitor product
at normal price.

So if you focus on specials you might actually be buying more expensive
products, which means you lose the savings you made.
