Woolworths 33% price hike on their Soda Water-The start of hyper inflation?

Hi @Tom_2u2, welcome to the community.

Don’t have any information…but assume that the increase was recent. I recall it being $0.85 here in Tassie, and see online that it is now $1. I initially assumed that the price rise was due to the Tasmanian Government introducing a $0.10 bottle deposit scheme…as the product increase to cover the deposit and costs to operate the scheme is in the order of $0.20 per container.

When checked and the price increase is national.

Coles 1.25L sodawater is also the same price.

I wonder if there has been a price increase as there hasn’t been one for a while…or the price of PET bottles has increased for some reason. It could also be that the product is very low margin (no margin) and since Woolworths competitors have also increased their storebrand sodawater, they have also decided to increase their price.

Notwithstanding this, there is cheaper ways of getting sodawater should you need to partake in the fluid:
