This has been going on since Biblical times.

In school 40+ years ago, I remember them taking a survey of a few thousand people.
There is a product that you want and it is offered three ways to buy it, which would you prefer?
A- The cost is two for $1.00
B- The cost is $0.50 each
C- Buy one for $1.00 and get one FREE.

The response was overwhelmingly C. Now if that is entrapment or a scheme then so be it.

Conversely, if you don’t do the math when you buy something then that fault is on you not the seller. If you miss the sale, that is your fault not theirs.

Now for the biggest secret that those evil marketing people don’t want you to know. ARE YOU READY?

“The buyer will buy when THEIR perceived VALUE meets or exceeds the price!”

The definition of a good deal? When both parties agree on the sale and purchase! Period!
But, when the narrow window sale over they are still twice as much. And when sale on usually very short supply or it’s about to be outdated. So, bottom line most get snooker in.
