Supermarkets misleading on discount pricing: Which
Which, the customer group has to say that the customer have been misled by the super markets as far as the matter of discounts as well as multi-buy offers is concerned. They did an analysis of the prices that was more than 700000 prices and have a suggestion that in some of the cases the discounts were more than what the original price was.
Nevertheless, the government had to say that there were plans as of now as far as making any alteration of these rules of pricing is concerned. It is actually a criminal offence on the part of traders to mislead the customers with wrong price indications.
A spokesman of the Department for Business had to say that on misleading the customers about the prices, the traders would be facing an enforcement action from the standards of trading for the breach of the legislation. The government has a belief that the regulatory frame work that was existent is quite robust as well as there is simply no plan to change anything in this regard.
The research that was done by research had cited some of cases such as the doubling of the prices of the Muller from 30 p to 61 p, which was sold on lower for some time the prices were again made up. Beck, the beer by Tesco was sold on discounted rates fir 190 dates then for higher rates at 70 days.
The state puts forward a ruling that the prices which were not on discount has to be the amount on which the product has to be sold to the customers for at least 28 days before it is out on discount by the trader and on the other hand the duration for which a thing was up for sale on the discounted prices should not be more than that duration for which it was being sold on normal prices.

But Which had to say that this ruling was inclusive of get-out clause that only could happen in some of the circumstances and not all. Richard LLloyd, the executive director of Which had to say that a perfect time when the household budget of the people were shrinking as well as the bills were going up, quite a lot of people are on a search of some suitable options on bargain. It is also not acceptable that the shoppers are put into any kind of a confusion that they are duped that they are being offers deals at amazing costs.
