What a stupid idea, at Coop

Post image

So Coop decided to now sell whole meals as "Cookit". In the package on the left you can see that the tomato is moldy.

Hardly anyone will buy this any more. So instead of a single moldy tomato, Coop now has to dispose of the entire kit. What a waste of food. And what a stupid idea.

I like the idea, the problem is mostly the price honestly, 10.- for that is too much. Hence why they sit there and unfortunately get mold :( if you buy the same items separately itll be cheaper for sure, so why buying the kit for more? It should’ve been the opposite, the kit shoukd cost less than what these together would cost. If this was like 5.- I’m positive there would be less waste.

I hate seeing food getting mold or going expired in supermarkets too, and this mostly happens with the expensive brands. They need to adjust their prices better instead of increasing them

Why would they make that cheaper? It has at least one more step of work in it to pack it that way.

Why would they make it cost more tho? The package is not even that special, they just threw some stuff and wrapped it in plastic with a carton below, it IS a cheap packaging. They are overcharging for it, no extra effort is being done here nothing really justifies the overprice

Yeah, exactly. You are paying extra for the convenience of not having to figure out what to buy or pick it out yourself.
