Advertising Deception

Except if I was going to buy one of those anyways there's no reason for me not to take advantage of that.

Marketing capitalizes on stupid people, modern or not. It's why there are stores that have items permanently on sale. The "sale" price is the actual price, but you see 20% off and lose your mind

2/10

It's almost as if they're encouraging you to buy more so the old stock gets rotated out quicker if it's approaching expiration.

X for Y price where you can't buy one at the equivalent.

>>8193996
that's the entire fucking point of those sales you idiot.

>>8194000
Except plenty of places nearby do the exact same shit, but have in the fine print that you can buy one at the discount. 2 for 5? Buy one for 2.50.

>>8194008
Yes, I've found that to be true often. Many people buy two, when they could have gotten the proportional discount with only one. It's nice when it happens on something you were going to buy anyway.

>>8194008
yes, but it varies by product category, and that makes sense. there's a deal on yoplait yogurt cups? that's because they're going bad soon and they need to clear them out, whether in loosies or packs

something like albertson's deals on wine, though, where it's 20% off all wine, or 35% off if you buy 6 bottles, that's totally reasonable. if you don't want it, they can keep it on the shelf until someone does

>b-but 10 for $10 ramen
i have no answer there

>>8194021
Zactly, or I want 3 instead of 4...
Flip side of the thread theme, when there's a limit on an item (Max 8 for example) and I can go and get it price matched somewhere else to get some more.

>>8194035
Yeah, I get it. I'm not going to shit my pants and call for a manager, it's just slightly disappointing if I can't get an odd number or something.

Last year around Christmas this big supermarket put the expensive chocolates on sale, every single one of them i personally bought 3 bags of 70% off mixed fancy Italian ones, 2 to give as a present of course
If I had more money on me I would have bought everything I could
Thing is people don't buy that and they had to clear the produce somehow, it was two months from expiration
Thank my good friend capitalism

I live with two fat people and it's amazing how they'll consistently buy 2x the junk they shouldn't eat because there's a sale on it.

>b-but anon, the ice cream was buy one get one free!
>how could i resist?
