The point being, at the time they bought it, the OP was quite happy with a price of £8, and thought this was a perfectly reasonable price for the product

The point is (and I do get your irony BTW) that at the £4 he could like it so much he could buy two - catbed,catbed, so good he bought it twice

Anyway, what does the cat say to all this?

My cat had a catbed but preferred mine.

In fairness to ASDA (and they're going to need all the support they can get, in view of a certain other, and infinitely worse, thing they've just been caught doing!), all shops do this to clear the decks for newer, more profitable lines.

Having bought something, I stop shopping around for it, just in case this has happened.

What have asda been caught doing??? just curious

Blooming Sainsbury....

They were selling little packs of chocolate hearts for £1 each up until Wednesday when they dropped to 40p...

If only they had dropped the price sooner I could have bought twice as many for Valentines Day and still had change.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Most cats I've ever known would refuse point blank to have anything to do with something bought at a discount.

How has anyone conned you? Asda sold it at a price you were happy with and later decided to sell it at a lower price.

Do you expect them to never reduce any prices once they sell something?

If you were running a shop and then found someone round the corner was selling the same products cheaper, would you keep your prices the same whilst everyone buys from the cheaper shop just in case one of your previous customers feels like they've been conned?

no one has conned me as im not the op but i would feel conned in the same situation, you are comparing two shops when the fact is the op only went into one !!! simples

Maybe you could buy another one at the selve serve, feed in £8 and then walk off and ignore the £4 change and it will be like the price was never reduced.

what a stupid and patronising comment.

I would buy another and take it back using the £8 receipt as someone else said

I bought paint from b&q, the following week it was reduced so took it all back and bought it reduced saved about £38

£38 is worth saving. £4 isn't.

Sometimes you buy something then see it in a sale at half the price a few weeks later. Conversely, most people have not bought something for some reason or other, changed their minds, gone back a month later to discover it's now in the sale. Kerching.

For the OP (or others) to imply they've been conned, or ripped off, or somehow let down, is ridiculous. You win some, you lose some.

You could always just go buy another at £4 and keep it for when you need it.
