In a word YES, prices go up then 'reduce' to a new 'lower' price that is usually dearer than the original price

I have lost track of just how many times I have had to show/explain to a pensioner that when Tesco offer an item reduced to £2.65, read the lable........they normally sell for 2 for a £fiver anyway.....and that Tesco Macaroni Cheese reduced to £1 for 500g, is also on sale at the normal price of £1 for the 1000 g.... 247.....I double check everything...!
