Excusemesaywhat ? Do manufacturers get to decide the price
at which an item is sold ? That would be illegal over here.

Well, at least in .de and .ch, they can decide the recommended sales
price. Doesn't mean that's the price the product is actually going to
be sold at (that one is usually equal or lower).

And then there are companies like Migros (very large retailer in .ch)
which either manufacture a lot of their inventory themselves or have
it manufactured on contract so the sales price is printed on the original
packaging as part of the packaging design.

Kind regards,
Alex.
