We understand all too well how hard it can be to find a good bargain at the supermarket. Prices have only been on the rise, and grocery store trips are becoming increasingly expensive.

It's absolutely no surprise, then, that shopping around for special prices and deals has become a crucial part of our necessary game of 'how can I save?'.

So when shoppers spy a great deal on staple food items - like half-price tins of tuna - all you can think is 'score!'.

This is why one Woolworths customer was so heartbroken — a little bit angry, even — to discover they had been 'tricked' by the supermarket giant.

As explained in a Reddit post, the shopper had spotted a display of John West tinned fish, which was apparently priced at $1.35 each.

Half-price – amazing!

However, upon closer inspection, the shopper realised they had been duped, as not all tins of fish in the display were half-price.

As it turned out, there was a special half-price offer on the first, second, and fourth shelves only, but the third shelf contained tins of pink salmon without a price tag.

Upon reaching the checkout, the shopper was shocked to learn that the salmon tins were, in fact, full price at $2.60 each.

'Well played, Woolies. You got me,' wrote the shopper. 'Fell for their oldest trick. Sneak the full-priced item into the middle of the sale section. Yeah, I could have left them at the register, but they know, and I knew I would just suck it up.'

When the shopper took to social media to voice her frustration, she unknowingly started a heated debate.

Some were quick to defend the supermarket's staff member, who they believed made an honest mistake when stacking the shelves. Many agreed that it's highly unlikely for a big corporation like Woolworths to plan such schemes. Instead, they pointed out that it was likely a simple case of human error.

While some were sympathetic to the shopper's plight, others also felt that she should have been more vigilant.

They pointed out that the display clearly advertised half-price tuna, not salmon, which had no price tag. It was an easy mistake to make, but the customer should have been more careful and double-checked the price of the ticket before making the purchase.

While not quite the 'dishonest' trick the shopper first assumed, it's still worth being aware of.

Woolworths places a high priority on customer satisfaction and encourages shoppers to report any issues or concerns they may have about products within the store to a team member or the service desk.

By voicing their opinions, customers help ensure that the company maintains its standards of excellence and provides a seamless shopping experience for all.

Key Takeaways

• A Woolworths customer accused the supermarket of deliberately 'hiding' a shelf of more expensive items in between shelves of half-price buys.
• The customer was shocked to discover that the tins of John West salmon in the display were actually priced at $2.60 each, instead of $1.35 like the cans of discounted tuna.
• The shopper's post sparked a debate, with some defending the Woolworths staff member and others claiming the display was deceptive.
• Woolworths customers are encouraged to raise concerns about any item in the store to a team member or the service desk.

If you think you've been a victim of a supermarket pricing trick, you're not alone. Other shoppers have had similar experiences, feeling like they might have overpaid if they hadn't been so alert.

In a recent incident at a Coles store, a shopper was on the hunt for bananas. They later noticed that regular-sized bananas were displayed alongside 'Coles Kids Bananas', both priced at $4.50.

But something seemed off, and upon closer inspection, the shopper discovered the small print on the tag. It revealed that the regular-sized bananas were priced at $4.50 per kilogram, while the 'Kids Bananas' were only sold in a 750-gram bunch.

The fine print on the tag disclosed the actual price difference between the two products, which would have gone unnoticed had the shopper not been so vigilant.

It's disheartening to discover that supermarkets sometimes have these 'tricks' up their sleeves, and we have to be so attentive while shopping.

But these incidents remind us that we need to stay alert and read the fine print to avoid any misunderstandings. After all, nobody wants to be tricked into paying more than they intended to.

So, the next time you're at the supermarket, take your time and read the labels carefully to avoid any unpleasant surprises at the checkout.

The good news is that there's an easy way to make sure you're getting the best deal - by checking the unit price!

Unit pricing is a labelling system that's required by law, and it's designed to help shoppers understand the true cost of a product. It shows the price of the product per unit of measurement, such as per litre, gram, or kilogram.

By checking the unit price, you can compare prices of similar products, even if they come in different sizes, brands, or packaging. Unit prices are calculated to the nearest dollar and cent, making it easy for everyone to compare and find the best deal on groceries.

The next time you're shopping, take a moment to look at the unit price and make sure you're getting the best value for your money.

As conscientious shoppers, it's essential to pay close attention to the details and ensure that we're getting the best value for our money.

If you ever come across a product that seems too good to be true (or the opposite), we encourage you to double-check before making a purchase. You wouldn't want to be caught off guard at the checkout only to find out that the price was not what you expected.

By being vigilant and checking the details, you could potentially save yourself a significant amount of money and avoid any unnecessary hassle.

Going to the supermarket now days is like reading the fine print on insurance policies.
You have to read everything and if there isn’t a price you should check before buying.

Price is determined by head office, shelf position is the store manager's decision and in this case, was most likely intentional to improve store profitability

 

[Shandy]

This is very typical of Woolworths and to my mind it's very misleading. I've mentioned to staff but normally just get a shrug of the shoulders.

 

[Joedgo]

Price is determined by head office, shelf position is the store manager's decision and in this case, was most likely intentional to improve store profitability

Front end displays are set up from a planogram sent to stores from head office. The Store Manager does not make this decision.

 

[Jeg]

It's called 'baiting' and is illegal, if you report it to staff they don't know anything about it and so it continues.

Once bitten twice shy! Always read EVERYTHING on the labels.... Not just the price.....

 

[terri]

It is a bit annoying but today everyone seems to blame someone else for the slightest thing. It is easy to misinterpret these displays but you need to use your own brain and not expect to have everything spoonfed to you. And if you find out the product you thought was half price isn't, dont buy it. There is no one forcing you to.

Exactly, well said. As we all have life experience by now, we know that most times things may not be what they seem. A little common sense can go a long way. I may sound cynical but I guess I've learnt from my own boo boos

 

[Rosalie30]

So annoying when you see a ‘bargain’ then on closer inspection realise it‘s only valid for one particular item on the shelves. Very easy to pick up the wrong thing. Vigilance is everything now.

 

[Ricci]

I'm sorry but I just can't get behind all these conspiracy theorists who think big companies and corporations are out to get them or deal in nefarious practices. All the information you might need is provided for you, if you can't be bothered to read it, or assume too much how is that the company's fault? People are far too ready to blame everyone else for their own shortcomings. Take ownership of your own mistakes, you misread the label, you didn't read the label , you assumed that similar items grouped together would all be the same price. Shopping is not hard, it's certainly not rocket science, that being said though you still need to have your brain engaged.

You should have asked for a manager and requested the stock at the half price The it’s false advertising and there was more than a couple of cans there don’t let the staff talk you out if it that’s a quarter of a display stand up for your rights

 

[SGH]

Actually a rep from John West would probably have been sent in to set the on sale display up

 

[MotherGoose]

"The good news is that there's an easy way to make sure you're getting the best deal - by checking the unit price!"

Sounds good in theory but doesn't always work in practice. Yesterday I was at the supermarket getting ingredients for a salad. I wanted to know which was cheaper, Lebanese cucumbers or regular cucumbers - but one was sold by the "per kg" price and the other by the "each", irrespective of size. I could have worked it out by weight and mathematics but it was more trouble than it was worth.

 

[Macarj]

Another sneaky bit of advertising

[MindyMac]

I had this happen to me as well Wollies, different item and I thought the item that I normally buy was on half price. So, I loaded up with some items to get more. When at checkout, when through full price. Woollies refused to honour the price tag. So, they had to delete items from purchase.

 

[Brucemj]

Many many years ago when the kids were at school I would buy a Bertocchi ham every week so I was well aware of the price, I went in one day to do the weekly shop and my wife said look the Bertocchi ham is on sale, I looked and it was $2.00 a kilo more than it was the week before, a 25% increase per kilo, so I lifted up the paper price tag and sure enough $2.00 cheaper so I pulled down the special tag, found the two biggest hams gave one to my wife and told her to go to the end check out and when the price comes up say that's not right, I did the same at the other end of the check outs, no self serve in those days, eftpos was only a new thing then, wrong price first one free as per their pricing policy, from then on I always checked the price under the special tag. I have hardly been into a woolworths or coles in the last twenty years and never to do a weekly shop there when I do.

How can she expect to get this item for half price when she said herself that shelf did not have a price on it and it was tuna that was on special not salmon.
Once again the customer blaming the supermarket for her error. Do these people walk around in a dream, wake up and take notice of what is going on around you and stop blaming others for your own inattention.
