Has anyone stopped shopping at Superdrug…

… because of their ridiculous “clubcard” wannabe pricing structure?

Don’t get me wrong I’m not boycotting - it’s not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but the only way I can describe it is CF-ery from the retailer.

I used to shop there for cheaper make up and toiletries over Boots and ignored the loyalty card bombardment at the checkout but this whole ‘£3 for a deodorant otherwise it’s £7.99’ is just ridiculous.

At least with a Tesco clubcard the pricing seems fair, as it’s in line with other supermarkets so it does feel like a saving, but what Superdrug is doing is massively inflating the price for non members! Crazy!

I just have the card on my phone I used it during lockdown to get delivery's and just transferred it there afterwards it will change at some point with enough complaining and they will stop doing it as much or on useful things and it will go back to being useless

I signed up for the Superdrug app at the weekend because the discount on something I buy regularly was so good. Never used it though as Boots was matching the price. Most retailers with loyalty schemes offer the discount to their loyalty card holders these days. The data they get from purchases is integral to how they operate. Ridiculous multi-buys are something else though!

I love my superdrug card…

Yes, it’s put me off going into Superdrug too so I try to buy from B&M or the supermarket (very limited choices in my local town) before I ever go to Superdrug.

As for the PP saying just give false details, why should I have to give anything? I want to go in a shop, pay a reasonable price and go home again.

I use a throwaway email address and fake details for all these cards. Not a problem.

Why not get a card, giving fake details?
