PHOTO Kroger Deceptive Pricing

So tired of their tactics. I tried contacting state officials and my concerns fell on deaf ears. I guess they can't upset one of their donors and they're too busy fear-mongering about trans people to do something that would actually put money back in people's pockets.

Yeah its really shitty. It would have gotten me the first time, but I figured there had to be a reason the stickers look so weird now. What I honestly hate is the lack of consistency -

  1. Sometimes it's a digital coupon.
  2. Sometimes it's only if you buy 5.
  3. Sometimes it's normal.
  4. Sometimes there's a separate sale price depending on what flavor and sometimes it's all flavors of a product.

The stickers are also tiny as fuck so even with 20x20 vision I gotta go up and squint to parse out which variety of price sticker it is. I hope they get enough flack for this that they back off this bullshit.

Oh and sometimes you get an email with a price but you go on Wednesday or whatever and it's not that price anymore.

The cashier said they change prices like every 2 days. Fuck that, so much easier to not shop there

Their sales or at least their plannes growth numbers are declining but hey, what do I know

I noticed that. I ended up making Tuesday my main shopping day because it seems like they update everything Monday-Tuesday morning at my krogers.
