Retailers Are Raising Prices. Here Are The Sneaky Ways They Try To Cover It Up

Unless you keep a detailed spreadsheet of how much everything in your local store costs (and seriously, who has time for that????), it can be pretty hard to spot price changes — especially on items you don’t buy often. However, over on TikTok, users are sharing some of the sneaky little red flags that a big retailer has just raised the price on an item you’re looking at.

These tricks aren’t new; retailers have used these practices for many years to cover up price hikes. However, it’s helpful to be very aware of them in times like right now, when prices on so many different kinds of imported goods are on the rise.
