Markup Mondays – where we take a look at one type of product and the % of average markup. Markup is the amount of cost that is placed on a product after the cost of ( production, transport, advertising; ingredients). Make sure to come back every week – some will shock you – it will really be difficult to pay the retail price of some of these product again.
Today’s Product: Bottled Water
Markup: Up to 4,000%
WOW!!!!
How to avoid this cost:
Take the time to plan – and use filtered water – good for your wallet and the earth.
$aving Toward A Better Life adds: Buy a reusable water bottle that you can refill and reuse! I have a Brita pitcher that I can filter my own water through and just fill my bottle as needed. I fill it and take it with me when I’m running errands or grocery shopping, etc, so I’m not tempted to buy a bottle of water!
What products do you think HAVE huge markups???
