See... there are these veggie burgers that I love ( and I do mean love). So, I purchase them ALL the time, thus I KNOW how much they cost: $3.29 at the local Stop & Shop. A couple of months ago, they shot up to $3.99, which I noticed. Now, you may think: 70 cents, big whoop. Actually, that is what I thought. All food seems more expensive to me these days (milk, anyone? It's more expensive than gas).
A few weeks ago, a sign appeared at Stop & Shop that said this:
New lower prices!
Was: $3.99
Now: $3.69
It's a deal! Stop & Shop cares about me! They want me to have the food I like for less money.
I should buy more and more and more.
Except they don't think I noticed that a few weeks prior to this sign appearing, this product was $3.29. I've noticed these little signs all over Stop & Shop and I have to tell you: I think all of these products were raised, just to be "lowered".
For shame...
