Pricing as disclosed
- 30g — $39.00
- 90g — $104.00
- 100g — $64.00
Flagged inconsistencies on the brand's own page
- Pricing extraction inconsistency: most sources show tiered pricing ($39/$64/$117), but one direct fetch of the same URL returned $39 for every size variant (30g tin, 100g pouch, 3-pack) -- could not fully reconcile, likely a page-scraping error rather than an actual price.
- The product page's FAQ text references a '40g tin' while the actual purchase options list only a '30g tin' and '100g pouch' -- an internal page inconsistency in stated tin size.

Research notes
Two independent search-based extractions of golde.co consistently reported 30g tin=$39, 100g pouch=$64, 30g 3-pack=$117 (sale $104), which is used as the primary pricing above. A separate direct page-fetch pass, however, returned $39 for all three size variants -- almost certainly a scraping/variant-selector artifact rather than true pricing, but flagged rather than silently discarded.
