“The wholesale prices we’re hearing about are anywhere between $3.95 and say $7-8 – sometimes those prices go up to $11.45 – but you can see when the bulk of the wholesale pricing is between say $4 and $8 that the pricing between $20 and $30 is extremely concerning, and as I say above $30 just beyond outrageous.”

“We have already written out to a range of chains to get them to explain their pricing, and we’re also writing out to individual stores to get them to explain their pricing.”
