You should start being a bit more trusting and less cynical.

  Trust in advertising? I don't know... How many "get 10% off" offers can there likely be? When I shop for products, I usually check with price comparison sites anyway. They usually have shop ratings, too. What good could a random "10% off" offer do? If they are really cheaper than the competition, why wouldn't they just register with the price comparison site, so that I could find them that way? And if I go to their site through an ad, I don't have any ratings for them. Ultimately I prefer to shop with Amazon anyway, because their customer service is reliable... The chances that an ad pushes something into my face that I really, absolutely need but simply forgot about are rather slim, I think. In conclusion, all good an ad could do to me was to make me buy stuff I don't really need.

    You do realize the price comparison sites are essentially large adverts, and they get commission when you buy through them?

      Yes, but at least I only get to see the advert when I want to see it. Not sure if the commission is more than other costs for advertising, but I guess it shouldn't be.
