1. Tiny Packaging for Bigger Prices
Have you ever grabbed something from the shelf and thought that that was such a great deal, only to realize the product inside the box or package is much smaller than what you get at regular supermarkets? Dollar stores are notorious for this deceptive packaging tactic. The items might seem large and tempting, but they have far less product.
For example, a small can of soup might be labeled as a dollar, but it could be 10 ounces, whereas the same brand at a grocery store might offer a 14-ounce can for just a few cents more. It’s a classic bait technique that will make you feel like you are saving some money when, in fact, you’re getting less.
