So nearly two thirds of shoppers pay attention to pricing.

Many retailers use misleading prices within legal guidelines.
I contacted Curry’s because I had been waiting to buy a dishwasher, so I had been looking at prices for a while. They put up the price for the full 30 days before the sale, then lowered it the „sale“ price, which was the RRP that it was for sale for prior to the 30 day increase. I sent them screenshots, and they sent me back the rules that say it is based on the previous 30 days‘ price. So Curry’s were entirely within the law to advertise it as a sale price.
My takeaway was, do not buy any big ticket items in the 30 days ***before*** a sale, because you will get shafted.

This (£20 max spit-through) fleece is reduced from £100 to £30…what an absolute bargain!

I feel like this is down to a lack of understanding how sales prices work. Pricing strategies do exist and people do respond to them.

That should be everyone’s rule of thumb.

Last week the company launched a sale. Said big ticket item is the exact same price……..only for I have vouchers for them I would vote with my feet

Dunnes literally changes the prices of its stuff weekly; they get away with it by saying “only” on their yellow stickers rather than “sale” but it’s definitely false advertising

Harvey Norman’s ads for black friday are pathetic, TV 1599 to 1399, hardly worth your time if it was even real.

Mmmmmmm. I wonder why.
