Argos price fluctuations

The first week in December I bought a Philips 7380 shaver from Argos for £43, the normal retail price was claimed to be £89 so it seemed a good deal. About a week later I saw a Comet advertisement for the same model at £34, checked the Argos price and it had gone up to £58. Returned the item to Argos and purchased from Comet.
Checked prices again today -
Argos now increased to an unbelievable £89, Comet still at £34

Obviously Argos pricing is highly suspect.

    As always .... it pays to shop around particularly at sale time.

    Yes, but youre supposed to shop around before you buy something.

    I can never understand people buying stuff and then carry on looking for a cheaper price elsewhere:confused:
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
