  • The chips debate makes me laugh, I work within industry that is looking at placing chips into consumer products, to be honest the debate could be endless with:

    Whos knows what I buy, how much of and when..? (oooohh panic panic)

    The chips are solely designed to imrove the speed of product movement within the supply chain (I.e getting the products from the manufacture to the product location in store) the idea being that as there is a significant cost (Both logistical and watsage!!) associated to transportation then any reduction would make room for savings to potentially be passed on to the consumer. (At the very least delay price rises)

    The industry struggles to get these points across because of the paranoid consumer but a final thought for those of you who have clubcarrds and any other loyalty card.... Exactly what do you think they do with the data available from that ...? They link your toilet roll purchases to the time of the month to see when your most skint and any other form of random analysis and guess what they sell that data back to the manufacturers at a premium...

    The bad boys in all of this are the Tesco, Sainsbury Asda's driving rises in profits at the cost of manufacturers not the actual manufacturers who in placing chips in products make a more efficient supply and possibly get a secondary benefit of preventing thieving scum who also push the prices up for the rest of us.

    Feeling is, they will only send you the razor, then you have to buy the blades, which is where they make their money on.
    Nice try though

    They had a promotion on Sky Active a while ago for a free Gillette razor, it took a while to come but there was definetly at least one blade with it, possibly two.
  • Razors are like printers and games consoles. Really.
    The refills (ink/blades/games) are where they make the money - often the razor/printer/console is sold at cost or even a loss just you get you tied in to the product.

    Wow, that's just a little bit scary. Talk about Big Brother! Well, I've applied for the freebie anyway, but I'm seriously going to reconsider using Gilette from now on...
