"Kira five times the price of Perika in the UK" , Thu 9 Jun 01:49


Kira and Perika are two of the best and most commonly used brands of SJW, judging from the postings on these boards.

Here's a little (and not very scientific) cost comparison for you, based on my recent experinces...

Perika ordered from mynutrition.com £5.64* for 60 x 300mg tablets

Kira available from Boots chemist at £14.99 for 30 x 300mg tablets (= £29.98 for 60 tablets)
[This is a fairly typical price for Kira in the UK]

Kira, tablet for tablet and like for like is over FIVE TIMES more expensive than Perika.

If anyone can explain this huge anomaly they are a better man than me.

* Includes P&P. I actually think you can get Perika for a bit cheaper than this, but it just happens to be the website that I use.

P.S. Congratulations to Liverpool F.C. on an amazing night in Istanbul!

This is today's big consumer gripe from Northern Britain.

I'll follow it up tomorrow with an interesting diatribe about Beatles' B-sides.

Perhaps not.....

Well you can get Kira for $10.00 (around £6.00) for 45 from iherb.com, but the postage is a lot.

I just checked out the iherb website and you're absolutely right.

Kira is the most widely available brand in the UK. The price being charged in most UK stores (generally around fifteen quid (or $25.00) for 30 x 300mg tablets) is just a tad expensive.

They also have the cheek to market the standard 300mg tablet as a 'one a day' pill in the UK, which I suppose makes it seem more reasonable to those who don't know any better.

Sheeps.
