NDS - "Ablang" wrote in messagenews:Xns943AC8BE6691A112103@202.83.203.101... Grocery store ploys Same stuff as yesterday on aisle 9 The bargain hunter in you is probably still confident you've been saving cents by buying sale items. (Hey, Sugar Puff Daddy-o's cereal for 25 cents off -- what a deal!) Oh, you poor sap. "If it says it's a sale, people think it's a bargain," says Jain. He explains that the list price that is shown for comparison to the saleprice is usually just there for comparison. The store would never sell the item for that price -- it's just for looks. It makes the "sale" look good. You might be buying a $1.29 can of tuna for the fabulous price of $1.29.Everyone's favorite whipping boy (good ole Wal-Mart) is seriously guilty ofthis one....stick a "was" price that the item has NEVER sold for next to thecurrent price so everyone thinks "Hey! What a bargain! Better buy one (or20)!"Or just stick the sale price there, have the higher price in the registerand hope nobody complains. Another sales trick is the old 2-for-1 deal. Again, the supermarket's goal is not to save you dollars, but to move that product out. You, the customer, end up buying more than you would have and possibly wastingfood. It's not a bargain for you if you're not going to eat that much.Is there any other financial incentive for the store to offer a "buy one getone free" instead of just chopping the price (on one) in half during thatsale period? Seems like they could count it as two items sold and just burythe "one free/one sold at .00" somewhere in the back of the (financial)books where they're ignored.
