Why Discounts Can Be a Sign of Shrinkflation
Frequent promotions and "yellow price tags" on goods that previously didn't have them often signal a change in packaging format. The manufacturer replaces the old format (e.g., 1 liter) with a new one (900 ml), and old inventory is cleared out at promotional prices.
As soon as the old format disappears, the promotion ends, and the price per unit of the new (smaller) product becomes higher. This is a clever way to condition the customer to the new price.
Be skeptical of "generous" supermarket offers. Often, this is just a disguise for changing product parameters.
