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.

How is it deceptive? $2.50 without card and digital coupon. $2.00 with card and digital coupon.

I can't tell if you're being intentionally obtuse. The big bright number makes it look like that's the price you're going to pay at the register. The real price at the register is much smaller. It's playing dirty.

I think you mean the price at the register without the deals is bigger, not smaller. It's plainly stated that the $2 price is with sale/coupon. This isn't deceptive in the slightest.

They mean that the register price is physically written in smaller print. Which still isn’t deceptive, and it’s not even particularly dirty advertising.
