Woolworths' farm-style pies

[Sir Peel-a-Lot]

Do these animals fart rose-scented methane? How does the public know they are not simply regular pies
and WW isn't just taking the p*ss?

So, just change the way the crust looks and charge more.
Sadly, there is fools that will fall for the "free range" wording alone. Add "farmstyle" and you double the fools.

Without lab testing, the public will never know that what's in those pies isn't just the same as the regular pies. In this do-what-you-want country I'm sceptical, not that I'm rushing out to buy one anyway.

Woolworths sheeps will buy anything for any price.

Maybe that's what's in the pies - mutton.

Are these the pies that were accidently dropped so they bake them anyway and pitch them as rustic / farm-style? Enjoy your kakalak sprinkles.

Checkers is doing the same sort of thing.
I think there's just R45 or something.
I have never bothered to buy the overpriced pie.

I have tried overpriced pies in the past and was always disappointed.

It can be horsepoo but 'We shop only at woolies' sire.

They all will employ same tactics. People are lazy and would rather buy overpriced tasteless (in many cases) cr*p than cook themselves.

R69 pie ?

Perhaps its a valentines pie

Woolworths during and shortly after Covid was actually on par with Checkers and PnP due to being slow to adjust prices. Now they're being ridiculous again.

Please read this.

Okay, the link aside. If the pie really isn't worth the price tag people will only buy it once, and then never again. Providing that they're not brainless idiots.

I've had some good pies, some were a little expensive. Never at a grocery shop like Woolies or Checkers though.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Has any of the kak en kerm brigade bought both pies and see if there is a difference?

I have not but most farm pies I have had was full of meat with little sauce and not sauce with a few chunks of meat like most pies you buy at garages or supermarkets.

A Mug and Bean on the go croissant or muffin is R45. On the go convenience isn’t cheap that’s for sure.

What’s a piecost?

 

[Brawler]

A Steers burger and chips is R120 (and its processed garbage).
I would gladly pay R60 for a pie full of quality ingredients.

If people don't like the cost, just don't buy it?

People need to understand that the meat used in these 'farm-style' pies come from animals that were grass-fed in the Drakensberg highlands and were also drinking the finest spring water in the land.
