      Yeah, there’s been dynamic pricing at grocery stores for as long as I’ve been alive.

      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.
