Many big retailers, including Walmart, use “rollback” pricing as a marketing tactic to make customers think they’re getting a great deal.
However, in many cases, the “discounted” price is the same or only slightly lower than the original price before the promotion.
Some stores even raise prices before rolling them back to make the discount seem more significant.
This psychological trick creates a sense of urgency and value, pushing shoppers to buy, even when there’s little to no actual savings.
Always check price history or use price-tracking tools to ensure you’re getting a real deal.

MK677🤔
The price is what they want to charge. Choose to buy or not
Sorry but I gota say it "6777!!!!!"
Safeway grocery store has been doing that for at least 20 yrs! they will put a product "on sale but must by multiple" which makes the individual price more expensive than it was prior to the sale. and they get away w it cuz most pple don't shop daily or remember the price tags from a day or 2 b4. pretty sure most corporate stores do this and there's zero regulation or protection for consumers being enforced SMH
