"Changing setting our prices" - find out more. Okay...

"We're rolling out lower regular prices on 1000s of everyday products so that you won't have to wait for a deal to get a good price. Alongside this, we'll continue to offer you value through our Brand Match scheme and you can trust the values behind our own label range."

Hmmm... but not if T is better value now than S?
Strangely, why are all the comparisons in rest of the page below that comparisons between S and T (where T of course is much higher)? Why focus on T if A is the benchmark? And no comparisons mentioned to prices at A?

Of course it all just falls apart!

...
"You can be reassured that we will continue to run competitive promotions as we've always done. However as our regular prices will be lower it will mean that you can choose to buy the products you love whenever you want because you won't have to wait for a deal to get a good price."

Hmmm. I don't agree that it will mean that at all! I'm not going for a regular price of Muller yoghurt of £3:eek: for example (down from £3.89:eek::eek:), just a 89p cut, why bother?, offer prices have been £1.94. In fact, not reassured at all (I'm difficult to reassure:D) as A's 'offer' price is £2 rather than £1.94, and if A is now the benchmark to set prices by...

Another way for price increase to match A's prices I feel (being over-cynical as I am, probably justifiably:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:).

From the same Guardian article
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/sep/25/sainsburys-asda-brand-match-tesco-price-war

S "...said it would make discounts easier to understand by using round pound prices and clearer signage with less emphasis on percentages or fractions."

:(The assumption, as ever an incorrect one, being that a change to a "round pound" price represents a "discount".

I dislike it a lot when anywhere says they are making something "easier" to understand:(:(:( - usually it seems that is code for increasing a price from a previous 85p half price to a round pound price. Sorry that the public generally can't understand percentages and fractions and are functionally innumerate but instesd understand the figure £1 (though it sometimes or often represents a quite high price). It's perceived, wrongly, as a good price. Yet Poundland and places like that for example can have items on £1 but one of the supermarkets be lower than a pound on the same item or Poundland stocking a smaller size than the supermarkets do and thus no different price per unit, even though the £1 price in Poundland appears to be lower than the supermarket's price (for a bigger item). General public do not realise!:(

Sains. have done a lot of research into price "perceptions" and are acting in their own best interests! Which, as with any supermarket whose aim is to make profits, are totally contrary to ours.

:idea:Perhaps...stretching my cynicism even farther.. the less emphasis on the 'fractions' will be in order to steer people away from the good value half price offers and onto the expensive round pound products in the store instead! As I've suggested, if not mentioned, very recently everything in a store is there to try to direct you to the items the store really wants to sell and that make it more profit - the entire set-up and layout, the whole appearance of colours, lights, price labels, everything, the whole lot - so, perfectly, it would make sense to have more people buy more of the round pounds - that are priced marginally more expensive, everyday, than the same item on offer elsewhere and elsewhere than A - and to buy fewer of the loss-making half prices. Then you can say that the product is a good price all the time (even though it's not*) and you don't have to wait for a deal (which you do, IMO). Bingo!:rotfl: And everything in supermarket language once again appears to mean the opposite of what it says!:rotfl::rotfl: But fortunately Savvy is used to that, expects nothing less and would be utterly surprised if it were any different!:D

*Of course "good" is subjective so they can say what they like.
