Mercadona price drop memes

Mercadona’s price drop has generated a wave of ridicule on Twitter. Users have flooded social networks with memes and ironic comments about the strategy of the supermarket chain. Discover in this article the funniest reactions to Mercadona’s latest measure.

Juan Roig generated a national debate by saying that they had raised prices a lot, but that it was necessary to maintain the productive chain. Despite this, the company has announced that they will drop prices on more than 157 products in late March and early April. According to Mercadona, the objective is to continue pursuing lower cost prices, to lower sales prices and for the customer to make their entire purchase at the lowest possible cost. All this without touching the quality and guaranteeing the profitability of all the links in the chain.

Price drops due to high temperatures?

Juan Roig explained that vegetables have dropped in price due to the high temperatures that have been recorded this year. This has allowed the harvest is ahead and there is a large quantity of these fresh products available, which in turn has led to a drop in prices. Mercadona decided to advance these discounts to get ahead of the competition, instead of waiting for the summer. That is, they will go up again as soon as they understand that there are not enough fresh products for everyone.

What is surprising is that sunflower oil will also have discounts, although the president of Mercadona has warned that this could lead to a shortage of this product. Despite this, he believes that prices should not be regulated by the government, and therefore should not be artificially set. This measure has been welcomed by many consumers, but has generated controversy in some quarters.

viral reactions

Some critics argue that the price cut is simply a temporary measure and that long-term price stability cannot be trusted. Others believe that the supermarket chain is trying to regain consumer confidence after the controversy generated by the price hike. But, as always, social networks are filled with memes to make the drink as funny as possible.

The youngest will not remember, but in its beginnings, Mercadona had as its motto “always low prices«. The user @DanieValderrey remembers the famous plastic bag during the price war.

Regarding the constant price changes, the user @Nendanfito73 refers to the fact that it must be insufferable to be a worker from Mercadona and constantly changing prices.

Don’t see what a pain in the ass it must be to work at Mercadona now having to change the price tags every 24 hours

Even, IlloJuan, one of the best-known streamers today, wanted to make his own reflection on the rise in prices. Like many other users, he also thinks that the situation would not have been catastrophic if this price increase had not occurred.

The user @kammiid also shared an image of the price of the Little Bones, in which confusion is generated about an alleged price drop that does not really exist. Previously, its price was 1.75 euros, and the new sign announces the same price unchanged.
