Superdrug pricing

[TheFlis12345]

Is it just me or have the prices massively jumped recently? I use a couple of things from their Naturally Radiant range and everything has gone up by around a third since I last bought them a couple of months ago. The eye cream was £3.99 but is now £6.99. If it hadn’t been on bogof I wouldn’t have bothered as the similar one from boots is still £4. I also looked at the Nip Fab range which they were claiming was ‘better than half price’. The Glycolic pads at full price are £17 when they used to be £9.

Could they be trying to make up for lockdown and lack of footfall? I have not been in there or shopped there online since early March. I suspect we will be getting a lot of this. If any of them survive that is!

Just had a look at an order email from Sept last year - naturally radiant night cream, serum and balm were all £5.99 and are now £7.49. Foaming cleaner up a quid from £5.99 to £6.99

Have you tried the Primark range? It's pretty good, though I haven't been in a primark since about February so I don't know what ranges they are currently carrying but they used to do a range that included a cream cleanser, a decent serum/moisturiser which I bulk bought because I really like, and nice sheet masks. I think the most expensive was the serum at about £3
I believe they've got a REN knock off range at the moment.

Just checked my order receipt from 16 July and current prices and some items have definitely increased in price. Others seem to have been discontinued. To be honest I don't really mind as they always have special offers on so I never pay full price anyway. I can understand one price increase due to increased running costs but if they start increasing their prices 2 or 3 times a year like some places then I'll be very annoyed!

It seems that it's mainly the naturally radiant range that has increased in price.
