If I am buying a more expensive item I look round both on the internet and in the shops...prices vary so much.
The thing that annoys me most is buying everyday food stuffs....It's almost impossible in supermarkets to get a fair price when you are buying ONE bag of apples or ONE packet of bacon....it's all bloody three for two.
I don't want three...I want ONE. List Price Fiddle 2396444674

Nothing new. This has been going on for centuries.

(= we doubled the former price and then sell it for half.)

The only thing new about it is that we are seeing it on the internet, where formerly it was fixed prix.

To me, the only way to tell if you're really getting a discount is to track the price from when something was first offered. You do get some great deals that way -- I recently upgraded my cell phone from my old Samsung Galaxy S3 to the LG G3. Not the latest and greatest by any stretch, but it was over two years newer than my old phone, and the price was indeed knocked in half from the original release price of around $600.
