7-11 vs Pinoy balut vendors

[BossVic]

Makatarungan bang ang mga Pinoy head of the family balut vendors ay kukumpitensyahin pa ng mga big companies like 7-11?
Sa 7-11 super mura pa ng benta nila compare sa balut:

Boiled Egg: 8
Penoy: 10
Balut: 15





Kung tutuusin pwede sa batas di ba? Pero naman!!! Barya na nga lang kita nila

napag-usapan nga rin namin ng mga officemate ko yan.. may 7-11 kase sa tabi ng offcie namin at dati may balt vendor sa tapat mismo nun. ngayon wala na yung balut vendor.

binraso much?

[perryparanoid]

i think may magandang reason naman yun, si manong mambabalut is not always around kaya si 7-11 ay naghahatid din ng convenience para sa mga naglilihi sa balut/penoy/boiledegg.

[hooney]

minsan umaabot pa ng 20php sa mga magbabalot eh!!!!

[lancealmekian]

whoever said life is/has to be fair? lol.

and fyi, 7 eleven is a brand name of a franchise, not a company per se. hindi 7 eleven ang kalaban ng mga magbabalot. yung franchisees. lol. may mga 7 eleven kaya na walang tindang balot.

[gooseberry]

I'd rather buy from the magbabalut to help their poor families but if their prices are not cheap.

Sorry, I'm a working class too. I will get both quality and affordability elsewhere. In this case, 7-11.

Yun nga eh mahal sa mambabalut ang 711 can afford mag mura ksi maramihan di ba?

'Sa lang yan sa mga reasons why the rich are becoming richer..

Halimbawa, ang rich kaya bumili ng 1 sakong bigas, mas tipid kaysa sa nilalako sa tindahan na paunti unti na yun lang ang kaya ng mga mahihirap. Tsaka isang VAN lang grocery na sila 1 time lang, ang poor paulit ulit na sasakay ng Jeep, balikan minsan 3 sakayan pa sa pinagbibilhan ng kanilang supplies.

Simple lang ang lunas: magtatag ng COOPERATIVE ang mga mahihirap upang makapamili rin sila ng MARAMIHAN. Kaso watak-watak at kanya-kanya sila kaya wala silang asenso....

Di ba ang bolied eggs sa 7-11 , chicken eggs at ang Penoy/Balut duck's eggs kaya mas mahal?

[Papichulo168]

Di na ako bumibili ng kahit anong ready to eat na pagkain sa 7-11. Mapa hotdog o rice meal o balut man yan. Too many stories of food poisoning dyan sa 7-11. Kung di lang matibay sikmura ko baka nadale na rin ako ng ilang beses sa kanila eh.

no, it's the other way around (price) since raising itiks in rice farms are almost completely free

Mas makatarungan naman ata yung presyo ng 7-11.

[spiglao2]

Pernes mas masarap naman suka ng ordinary balut vendor noh.

They're you go. That conjunction almost always negate a statement from being said/necessary.

[LimpBwiZit]

mas mahal talaga lagi sa vendors. di pa sila nagbabayad ng tax.

[dashingdevonair]

If 7-11 can sell Balut at a lower price, balut vendors should be able to do the same. Not only is 7-11 paying tax, there's also overhead (rent/electricity/manpower).

This is a wake up call for balut vendors that you can't sell balut forever. They have to be more creative.

[Papichulo168]

Pag may mobile na 7-11 na dadaan sa harap ng bahay ko ng 11 ng gabi at mas mura ang tindang balut, baka mapabili nga ako.

Another thing:

What's the freshness of the balut from the balut vendor's basket compared to 7-11's display? Sa 7-11 dadaan pa yan sa warehouse at ididistribute pa yan to 7-11 stores all over the Metro. Who cooks the balut fro 7-11? Mina-microwave ba yung balut sa 7-11?

Not really. Common microeconomics sense: small vendors always sell at higher price compare to big ones. This applies almost everywhere including the US eg Walmart vs. small businesses.

How? Wholesale. Price of individual units are cheaper so even if they sell it at relatively lower price, they still are making much more profit. And the fact that big businesses OWN their own distribution (including shipping, once again eg Walmart) the price altogether of each unit to the seller is cheaper compare to small businesses whose business cost are higher (because they either pay for or incur the added price via each product they buy) due to the middle men (transport and distributors).

That's why I laughed at "if the prices are lower". You're pretty much asking the small businesses to go bankrupt.
