The supermarkets are at it all the time. Lidl got me last week. I buy my cheese and natural yogurt from there. They had some delicious Lake District Cheese Co mature cheddar that was reduced slightly a few weeks ago. They take it in turns to reduce something for a few days and then put it up again, sometimes dearer than before. Last week it was reduced by £1, so I bought 3 blocks. When I got home I found it was not the tasty stuff I had always had previously but mild cheddar even though it said mature cheddar on the wrapper. Then I vaguely remembered it was previously extra mature cheddar that I had and this was different stuff. But in Lidl there is no extra mature cheddar any more, just this 'mature' cheddar. But the packaging is exactly the same. I wonder how many fell for it.

They are always messing with price labels on shelves, so they put something different under where there is a good bargain. It will say, for example, Product X 100gm for £1, but there are no 100gm underneath, just 200gm which is far more expensive. Or they will have Product X 100gm but it is not the exact flavour that the reduction applies to. Well dodgy.
