Recently the ACCC in Oz brought a case against supermarkets about marking prices as discounted or "specials" when actually that price is the normal price of the product. I feel that the supermarkets here do that too. One product for an example that seems to be always on "special" at our New World is Boring Oat milk, so when it actually went off special recently I took a picture because I had never seen it priced like that before at $5:15. Sure enough within 10 days it was back to being "on special" at $4.29.
I think that $4ish is the usual retail for this product, and the listed price of $5:15 is just BS to make people think the product is discounted. Have you noticed this with other products you usually buy?
