Unbelievable and unreasonable price for this item. Who would believe for those who usually buy this in your home Country that this Yakult Healthy Drink 65ML x 7 small bottles in Carrefour cost Q.R. 44.50?? LMAO!

It was my first time that i bought this item in a supermarket in Doha. I just missed the taste of it and wonder if i can buy one and knowing it will only cost me like 10-15 Q.R. Hahaha. I was wrong! Seeing my receipt this morning, shocked me. this is the only high price item compare to all the items i bought! WHOA!

What can you say?

Try walking around a bit more and you'll see the 'cheaper' brand...or unless that stock lasts...

if it was a mistake, then they were probably making the same mistake for a couple of weeks now coz we've been buying that since last month and it was the same price as today...

Last time I bought that 7-pack in Carrefour it was just less than 15QRs...and that was months ago.

Back in My Country 1 Cocunut (Drinking type) is QR 1.00 (Max). Here the same is QR 8.00. Did it deter the customers. No the whole stock is gone within 1 day of arrival.

Back in your country say you get QR 10000 as the Salary but you get 3 times more than that here. so why the fuss :)

I know it sounds silly, but I just love to drink Yakult ever since, so even if it it crazy to have it at Qr44 I still grab some when I shop.

Is there any similar taste and contents locally made around Gulf?
