My grandma used to say about discounts that they are all frauds to push items that they can't sell by first jacking up the prices and then putting a "discounted" price on it. I used to (naively) think that grandma just doesn't understand. Turns out, she understood pretty well.
- goodcanadian 5y agoReminds me of a time when I was a child. My mother was browsing for something in store "A". A stranger "helpfully" pointed out that the item was 50% off in store "B". My mother thanked her and bought the item in store "A" anyway. I asked my mother about this, and she said that store "B" was always double the price. Their 50% off sale was probably the same as the store "A" regular price. Later, we walked through store "B", and sure enough . . .
