The supermarket can’t pretend it’s offering a discount if it raises prices just to cut them back, the judges ruled in a case brought by consumer activists from Baden-Württemberg. #EuropeNews
In the UK at least they’ll show a price then a member special price next to it, they used to have a while section of them in the catalogue they sent out each month.
Other items list prices then special discounts at the till for members.
Which places have a “discount with card” program that also don’t/didn’t sell at full retail price?
Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.
Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.
Costco? The members price when you have to be a member to shop there?
Always thought that was weird.
Costco doesn’t have discounted pricing, do they? They just have the one membership price, right? I’ve never shopped there so I don’t know.
Yeah just one price

Metro used to have something like that. Also, a bunch of wholesale places way back when.
