How do you mean? You saying the “sale” price is the regular price, and the regular undiscounted price is the inflated price, I assume?
Yeah pretty much you can really see it on many highly processed, high margin, non essential food. Think cookies, chips, frozen quick food ect. There is a huge effort to manipulate the prices and drive you to not only buy that product but also draw you into a store.
