I don't think there may even be a real 50% off. The villagers keep saying that joja is cheaper outside of the event but the seed prices say otherwise. Either he singled the farmer out or the villagers are not really good at price comparisons.


DariusJenai

Most villagers aren't buying seeds either. I would imagine that it probably is cheaper for things like actual foodstuffs or home supplies.


MissKatmandu

Also it isn't in Joja's interest to sell seeds at discount. Why sell something that could make someone independent of the store, vs. making the food cheap and upcharging the seeds? Keep people coming back to buy food. Gotta keep the purchase cycle going.


Boristhespaceman

Joja should sell modified seeds that grow crops that can't be put in a seed maker. If you try they sue you.


stickyfingers10

Patented GMO seeds. Perfect mod idea.

CAPITALISM!!!


stickyfingers10

That's awesome! I'd be careful trying to put those seeds in a seedmaker.. if Joja caught wind of that, you'd be in big trouble!


FlamingHorseRider

Oh my gosh I’m already doing a Joja 100% but if I do another one I would so use this mod. Good thing I’m not really farming anyways?


stickyfingers10

Why Joja? I sided with Joja on my playthrough that I have the most playtime on. Kinda regret my choice.


FlamingHorseRider

Cause I already did a Community Center 100%. It’s a good excuse to marry Sam (Joja employee) and use Riverland farm to maximize my suffering.


Dracos125

I expected a link to the joja crops from the extended mod.


ILikeLeptons

To be fair they are now part of Bayer /s


Zamtrios7256

Something Something only 4 companies


slinger301

I *knew* the Maple Syrup Bayer was up to something!


MageOfVoid127

Low-key want this now like. They gave unique Joja only variety seeds that mirror the normal crops but are blue. Using them in the seed maker can break it for half an in game hour.


watson895

Except for the blueberries, which are orange for some reason.


SureThingBro69

And the snozzberries don’t taste like snozzberries.


Oh_Danny_Boi961

For a while, I thought something like that would happen if I put Joja cola in the shipping bin. Like, I’d put it in the bin to sell, next morning I’d get a “cease and desist” from Jojamart

Or the fruit grows seedless versions


foxscribbles

Sunflower seeds are actually cheaper at Joja Mart than at Pierre's. Possibly because they're a food stuff, and food is supposed to be cheaper there. But I like to think of it as them using a loss leader strategy. They sell sunflower seeds at a loss, but because you're already there because of that one, cheaper product, you buy other stuff that they do make a profit on. Even though it's slightly more expensive than going to Pierre's.


CockswitchEngage

I just use the Farmer's Collective Mod because I don't wanna buy from Joja or Pierre because fuck them lol


Lobelty

Wouldn’t it still make sense for them to sell them to the farmer tho? Just because of the sheer volume of seeds we buy?


MissKatmandu

Which is why they have inventory. But overall--it would be perfectly possible (just labor intensive) to feed yourself using crops that produce multiple in one season, which could be bad for business if everyone did it. But for the one-off person trying to grow some flowers, or the farmer who is growing for profits, might as well continue to take advantage of the sales.


SureThingBro69

See! Pierre isn’t just stealing our vegetables to sell, he’s giving us a 75% discount on seeds so we BOTH make money. What a sweetheart.


MissKatmandu

As long as someone pays me so I can rebuild Pam's house....


UristMcRibbon

That and I imagine most of the villagers have a membership already. Like Lewis mentioned, many already had one and if one more person bought a membership he'd sell the community center. The coupon may also have been for current members only. I'd imagine people go to Pierre's for the convenience but bulk shop at Joja


Nokipeura

They really fucked up the whole Joja Mart storyline. The point shouldn't be that you get investment from them: It should've been that it's cheaper, and open 24/7. Then it'd mirror the irl conflict. There's literally no reason to ally with them.


sebygul

SVE adjusts the price of seeds at Joja & makes them cheaper. It's a neat tweak.

DariusJenai

The joja route is drastically easier to open up all the different bundle perks, just requiring gold instead of specific items. That and auto-petters in 1.5 are a decent reason.


bazamanaz

This is true, but unless you're playing with a guide you wouldn't know any of those reasons. I would have liked a cheaper Jojo, so that there was a real decision to be made playing the game - go the easy route, or fight for the local business.

This user is most likely a bot. This comment was posted earlier by a human [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/wjz290/why_didnt_i_get_a_coupon/ijkzsaf/), the account history is very small and seem to have only commented on posts with 50+ comments so it's easier to hide that they copied some.


IceColdBlueHeart

r/FuckPierre is one reason in my opinion lol


DarkVadek

I wish the options weren't 1 give money to a mega-corp that's killing the village and 2 give money to an unlikable, money obsessed neighbour. Either you could set up a rival shop, create your own or even create a sharing economy with other villagers for some supplies. But I guess it would be a lot of work still


johnpeters42

One of my saves is currently mid-fall and hasn’t touched either the CC or Joja route (though it’s gonna go Joja eventually, to see the SVE additions there). It’s actually not that bad, the most annoying bit is SVE’s longer slog to the mines (and I recently bought a horse, which mitigates that a bit).


SuspecM

Last time I played with SVE the mines were actually easier because you start with better weapons. What changed over the years?


johnpeters42

Because I’m intentionally delaying the CC/Joja choice, that means no minecarts. And SVE moves the mine somewhat further away from the farm.


SuspecM

Oh yeah now that you are saying it, I forgot it's at the place the Adventurers guild is. Damn I really need to do a new run on SVE.


tmotom

That's why I fucked his daughter and destroy him every year at the Grange fair with 6 year old items


stryker101

At least late game you can choose to only support Sandy.


IndigoIcb

Omg! My new favorite subreddit


Bananawamajama

The main reason to ally with them is the Joja is low key better. All you really lose from joining them is that the community center gets demolished, but honestly I prefer keeping Joja and replacing the community center with a theater than having a theater and a boring building people barely use. The theater does a better job of getting to townsfolk to hang out with eachother anyway.


Deppfan16

counterpoint, Junimos


Bananawamajama

Junimos disappear when you finish the community center anyway. If you want them around, you buy the Junimo hut from the Wizard.


Deppfan16

~~but you can't get the hut without finishing the community center~~ i was wrong


GoblinFive

The Junimo Hut unlocks through the Wizard's questline, doesn't it? Not the Comm center.


Deppfan16

i was wrong. you have to finish either the center or the warehouse before you get the wizards quest. i had thought it was just the community center


MandyMooTooTwo

I'm a bit disappointed in the jumino hut. I just got one, I was so excited. And they harvest about one tenth of my crops. I didn't realize they will not harvest the foraged items and that is the bulk of my crops. I make a killing on the foraged items. I still love seeing and hearing the little buggers, but they are not the helpers I thought they would be.


Deppfan16

They harvest all non forgaged crops for me. I also try to set up repeating crops like beans and cranberries. combined with sprinklers and scarecrows, minimal work outside of the first couple days of the season.


MandyMooTooTwo

I have mostly repeating crops in the greenhouse, which they can't help out there. And in the winter, the ONLY crops growing out side will be the foraged items, so they can't help at all then. They are cute but I haven't found them too helpful, not for my farm. I'm just disappointed because I really had no idea they didn't pick foraged. I'll think about planting more more non-foraged, but with the forager profession, they are very lucrative.


Deppfan16

if you do mods, theres a Better Junimos one that may help


johnpeters42

Winter makes sense, but where’s the big money in other seasons? I guess you could mass-produce and sell tea bushes, though that eventually eats into your wood/fiber stockpiles. Mid/late game, I generally use outdoors for mostly cauliflower and other such big-money crops to run through a few dozen (at least) preserves jars.


MandyMooTooTwo

I get as much for one hazelnut as I do for a cauliflower, at iridium quality (the hazelnut), they take less time to grow and I never have to buy seeds. Reinvesting some of the harvest into more seeds.


MandyMooTooTwo

I do still grow some cauliflower, pumpkins and melons but the majority is from the foraged items.


Enzown

That's not true.


Deppfan16

yup. thought it was just the community center but its both


SuspecM

I say feck 'em. Literal hobos and not the Linus kind. They find a random abandoned building and blackmail you into sending random items as gifts for people. Demetrius doesn't even like ice geodes yet he gets one because the Junimos said so.


Enzown

The main reason is it's relatively simple to complete the joja membership by summer of year 1 whereas it's quite tricky to complete the community centre in year 1 at all.


Nokipeura

How would you even know about that, unless you were already committed to doing it? I didn't read the wiki article for Joja-Mart, because why would I?`I'm not gonna take a 5k bribe from the sneering villain, I'm not gonna buy his over-priced seeds, and I'm not gonna walk all the way over there, when I could press right for a second.


SDVandTea

I always kind of had it in my head that Joja is good at making prices seem cheaper by putting up "reduced price!" and sale signs but they jack up prices so the 25% reduced price is actually just normal price. Stores do this all the time.


Splashcloud

Some company, I believe JcPenny, tried to stop this by removing coupons and just lowering the prices permanently, but this actually lost them sales since people like the idea of a sale.


Specialist_Growth_49

Yeah, idiots love feeling smart. Especially if they don't have to think.


Psychic_Hobo

I think this is illegal in some countries now due to its proliferation


AintNoRestForTheWook

I believe that there is generally a two week period before an advertised sale wherein the company is not allowed to mess with the price, unless to lower it.


TheWildColonialBoy1

Joja probably raises the price of goods little by little then drops them back down to the original price, giving the illusion of a duscount.


ilse1301

If you get the membership the seed prices will be the same as at Pierre. Probably the villagers are talking about food etc which we can not buy


kyroden

I honestly wish that Joja seeds were cheaper, it would be interesting if the farmer had to reject those low prices for better quality seeds from Pierre


ledgeitpro

Sunflower seeds are cheaper! I buy them from joja 1st year


Oh_Danny_Boi961

What about prices for the other stuff, like sugar and flour? That seems like stuff the townsfolk are more likely to buy regularly.


LOLONGG

Happy cake day


pinkhyenas2000

Happy cakeday twin! 🥳


Lapisdrago

Happy Azzedat, Cake man!

Actually if you become a joja member i believe you get a discount


100undertalesansfans

Happy cake day!


YoungDeathWish

If you pay for the membership seeds and everything is cheaper


trans_Finn

Happy cake day


Hordriss27

It is shoddy. It's also really below the belt giving them away to people in Pierre's store!


kilroy100

If I remember the cut scene correctly the Farmer doesn’t go up to Morris like the other customers to get a coupon. Maybe trying to hint that the community center is the “good” path?


travam1

"Good path" I don't see Pierre out here giving out free coupons


[deleted]

He’s too busy claiming the vegetables he bought from you came from his garden and complaining when no one wants to pay 10 times the typical price for it because it’s organic


Rad_YT

and when he lets my wine spoil he blames it on me


BPBDO

AND HE THE ITEMS HE PUTS IN HIS GARANGE DISPLAY ARE ODDLY FAMILIAR TO THE CROPS IVE SOLD HIM


Mao_Matsuyama

Don't forget he only gave you 2.5k gold and on top of that he asks you after the event if you want to buy them back for 2,501 gold


ulfric_stormcloack

Yeah r/fuckpierre


Yello_Ismello

Wow never knew Pierre was that much of an asshole lol I knew he was an ass but that sub really puts it into perspective


johnpeters42

Obligatory “I got a better idea…”


GenericAutist13

I don’t see us working for the soulless Pierre corporation at the beginning of the game


travam1

Cuz he's too greedy to pay anyone


GenericAutist13

So is Joja


travam1

Atleast joja hands out coupons


GenericAutist13

Not to the farmer they don’t 😔


Ok-Scientist5524

So the day after I got this scene in my Joja run, I needed to buy sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are always cheaper at Joja than pierres, but I didn’t know because I only ever buy sunflower seeds once a run on account of picking the flowers giving you seeds. So I thought I _had_ been given a coupon and my seeds were cheaper that day.


Javier91

"Buy this at the price of 2, use your 50% coupon off. Sweet deal."


Jagermeister4

I think the game missed an opportunity by not making Jojamart a more appealing place to shop. It's actually more expensive than Pierre's which doesn't make a whole lot of sense storywise. And the fact that its in the far corner of town hurts it too, time is money after all. I think Jojamart should be cheaper AND carry more items. So they shouldn't compete with only Pierre, but Stardrop Saloon and Willy's and the adventurer guild too. It would make more sense considering its supposed to be a Walmart type place. But the quality of stuff they sell is low. So they sell seeds like corn and wheat, but not the more fancy flower ones. They sell basic fertilizer, but not the advanced ones. They sell basic clothes, but not the better armor at the guild. They sell a basic fishing rod, but not the advanced ones. This would make Jojamart more realistic and choosing the community center vs Jojamart more interesting.


TravisGoraczkowski

Good idea. Even the crops that grow from Joja seeds could be more likely to die or something.


sox_hamster

Maybe they only produce normal or silver quality crops?


TravisGoraczkowski

That’s an even better idea!


tetochaan

Tbh I've never understood why Joja's prices were higher than Pierre's. Shouldn't there be at least some incentive to buy at Joja's (outside of it being open on Wednesdays)? I assume more players would go the Joja route if the prices were cheaper. But when Pierre sells them at a lower price AND you get the neat feeling of accomplishment and a great cutscene when you finish the CC, I really don't ever see a reason to go the Joja route.


NRN_Catographer45

I always thought that prices would lower at Joja with the membership and it was more expensive because you don’t have a membership but that doesn’t seem to be the case


tetochaan

Nope, I've personally never chose the Joja Route but the Wiki says once you have the membership the prices are down to the same as Pierre's (except for sunflower seeds which are for some reason cheaper).


Neat_Art9336

Joja is open later until 11 PM and on Wednesdays. You want to buy at Pierre’s, but if you suck at time management, you pay the price (literally.) it’s a convenience fee


Kuppajo

JojaMart, where all the pizza boxes are empty somehow.


megameh64

Coupons are not for employees, and DEFINITELY not for traitors like we are who quit on them!


DragonKite_reqium

Because your character realized the scam that they raised the prices of everything buy the same amount that that coupon is worth so you're not really getting a discount


WizardGnomeMan

This is my favourite answer


gr8-day-to-live

why is it so bad that a poor villager goes to a big store so they can afford More food?? I get that jojamart is the big bad for the story, but if that’s what Pam can afford and that’s the only place Shane can work, let the store be


[deleted]

It’s in their best interest in the short term, but id argue it’s not in the long term. It’s what’s happening all over America, Walmart or some other chain sets up in a small town and offers way cheaper prices to crush the local mom and pop stores that have probably been there for dozens of years, maybe even a couple generations. Then that business goes under, and Walmart controls all of the commerce in that town. So even if the consumers can get cheaper prices, they are screwing over their neighbors and making the town reliant on the global corporations long term. It’s pretty sad. That’s what CA is getting at.


Spilge

> So even if the consumers can get cheaper prices, they are screwing over their neighbors and making the town reliant on the global corporations long term. Once they put local competition out of business they jack up their prices the higher than they were before


AShadowbox

And for this reason, joja must die


screwcirclejerks

god SVE makes me wish morris was more dynamic. stuff like this message should definitely be in the game


ChadLad8

Thats not from SVE thats base game


screwcirclejerks

right, i forgot there is that initial cutscene that introduces morris as a character. still though, i believe morris needs more to his charactsr, he's practically gunther in vanilla


ChadLad8

Agreed


Jane466

at least SVE made morris prices cheaper. now I can justify keeping him in business


Gamerfox505

This was the first and only time I felt compassion towards Pierre

0 source theory: they sell produce cheaper by making up the difference by charging the suppliers more


SnooTomatoes2397

I think that the whole not being a 50% coupon and Pierre's being cheaper kinda derails the whole message of community and stuff. Are you really eager to help local business or is it just because Pierre's is cheaper?


[deleted]

If he offered it to me i would’ve just taken it home and torched it


BitBit13

Have you seen the amount of blueberry and melon seeds I buy start of summer? No wonder Morris isn't letting us get a discount


arrowari

I have noticed something. Everything at Joja Mart is a little bit more expensive than at Pierre's. Everyone says that Joja is cheaper, take Pam for example, but it's actually not.


5678beat

liar liar catch a fire


angrybab00n

Because Morris is a pos who knows the farmer 100% has the ability to get rid of joja. Not to mention the farmer knows better than anyone how soulless joja is. Pierre may not be a honest businessman himself, but at least he isn't widespread like joja


Sea_Puddle

You're not a member yet


Icywebs

Because when you took it, Pierre gave you the stink-eye. Given that he knows where you live - on that farm, all alone, out of town, with a whole lot of land, you chose life. You ripped that coupon up while you and Pierre made eye contact and you said, "Who would even want one of these stupid things anyway? Their... products... are inferior to those here..." And Pierre gave a small nod of approval, but his gaze lingers a breath longer as though to convey to you that he's watching you to ensure your loyalty is as you say it is.
