Shopping at Sainsbury today, and Toyboy bought a Gillette Fusion
razor..... special offer price £3.74. At the checkout I noticed that
there were only 2 blades in the pack, so suggested he might buy a
packet of blades as well. Couldn't find any, so asked at customer
services. The very helpful young man had a search, came back and said
they didn't have any, but when they were in stock, the price
is........................... £18.47 for 8 blades !!!!!!

Isn't it the same phylosophy with many printers?. Printer is relatively
cheap, but cartridges are pricey.i
