I think you should report stuff like this to Trading Standards.

On what grounds?

Well it would give the OP something to do rather than going round shops taking before and after pics of product prices.




not that I really think they should

Just to explain myself to those who are getting excited about me taking before and after pics, I had taken the first pic to show to my friend who was also contemplating buying one.
I contacted Robert Dyas and their 'explanation' was as clear as mud.
I'll be spending my £69.99 elsewhere 😬

You have to understand that consumers are buying from the internet more nowadays and the shops are fighting for survival so they'll use every trick in the book to extract the most money from your pocket.

BTW I used to work on the advertising for MFI back in the day on their 'never ending' sales.

Im more amazed that the OP took the before/after pictures.

See I don't find that unusual. If I'm out I'll often see something and send a photo via whats app along the lines of 'have you seen this?' or 'shall we get one of these?'
I delete my photos once in a blue moon so am very likely to have the original image on my phone.

They perhaps then saw the second image and took a pic to compare.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who does this 😊

When I worked in retail we used to have "half price sales". We called them "£10 off sales" as most of the large ticket items were really only £10 off the normal selling price.

I went into an outdoor clothing shop that had "everything half marked price" and as expected everything was at least 50% dearer than the week previous. I did manage to find one little bargain that they had missed though
