When you go to a supermarket, pay close attention to all the promotions that may seem tempting!
More and more of signs and supermarket offer promotions. But be very careful not to fall into the trap. Because some offers are more attractive than others. We tell you everything!
Beware of false promotions in a supermarket!
Surely you have already seen videos on social networks, showing fake sale items. This is the case of several young women who reveal the scams in the big brands. Because in the middle of the sales period, some fashion stores or supermarkets offer you a very enticing stuck on top of the old.
But if you’re curious and peel that label off, you you will realize that there is eel under rock. Because the final price may be higher than the original price.
Generally, you come face to face with these articles. Eh yes ! You cannot escape them because they are at the head of the gondola or inside special bins. In the supermarkets, in the middle of salesthere are various baskets at bargain prices.
From -30%, up to -70% off multiple items. Yes, but here it is… Our colleagues at Capital have decided to investigate the subject. They noticed that these promos are sometimes scams.
Before telling you more, let’s remember why supermarkets therefore practice promotions… It is a question of liquidating stocks of food, or unsold clothes from the previous collection. These are therefore anti-waste promotions. Leclerc, Carrefour, Lidl, Auchan… Many brands have practiced them.
But the magazine 60 Millions de consommateurs doubts these reductions… Because more and more customers are complaining about certain brands that inflate prices before a reduction is applied to them to attract more customers.
A sausage that makes a lot of noise
Indeed, in the middle of the sales period, prices suddenly inflate. This is therefore the case of the Auchan supermarket in Vélizy (Yvelines), which had the gift of infuriating customers. The latter noticed a promotion on a sausage from the Le Batistou brand. We tell you more below.
The Le Batistou brand sausage has had the gift of making people talk! And for good reason ! He wore a supermarket label to show that the “deadline is up”. It was therefore €3.85 with a reduction of 30% on the starting €5.50.
Yes, but here it is… Some very curious customers have decided to look at the label from behind. Imagine that the price is not the same! Because originally, the sausage cost €4.70 and not €5.50!
It is therefore a scandal for the French who feel betrayed! So they need to pay a little less than the original price, but the difference is not obvious !
60 Million consumers add that they will have to pay ” €3.85 instead of the €3.29 he should have paid. i.e. 17% more“. Know that the sausage is not the only one concerned in the supermarket!
Indeed, the magazine 60 Millions de consommateurs also found that 63 products saw their price increase before sales. So it is with shoes. But also clothes. So you have understood it, it is very important to take a good look at the prices to avoid being cheated.
Because these scams fall at the very wrong time ! And for good reason ! The French are more vigilant than ever about prices in supermarkets. We have to believe that this period of inflation forces them to make restrictions.
