"Primark you'll lose customers at that price, especially with the cost of greed crisis!" someone else warned.

"Why's it half my wages though?" someone else asked.
When someone else said the PJs have to be sold as two pieces due to people being different sizes on top and bottom, another added: "I understand they should keep the opinion of different sizes separately, but to split a set and hike the price of PJS up to €36 is nuts!"
While another wrote: "Wait until January sales and they will be less than half the price, because no mug is going to pay that for a pair of primarni pjs!"
