Price of tea at supermarkets

From Merdeka

Last week I was surprised to see traditional herbal tea, teh jamu, for body slimming on a shelf at Metro supermarket in Melawai Plaza in Blok M priced at Rp 9,300. As far as I know the price of this tea is only Rp 7,500. If it does increase it should not be that high.

Then I went to Matahari shopping center located in the same area to compare the price of the tea. I saw the price of the same product was relatively much cheaper -- only Rp 7,250.

Therefore, I appeal to the management of Metro supermarket to fix the prices of its goods accordingly so that consumers will be prevented from such a great loss in buying its merchandise.
